Glymur

A valley walk towards a waterfall deep in Hvalfjörður’s canyon.

Glymur lies in Botnsdalur at Hvalfjörður. The walk climbs beside a canyon and may involve steep, slippery sections and river crossings; a short map distance does not describe its difficulty.

Water levels and crossing arrangements vary with season. Winter brings particular hazards. Check the current route, equipment requirements and your experience, rather than relying on an old photograph of a crossing.
