Itinerary description

Well marked trail all the way to the top (Skeggi or Vörðuskeggi). Marvelous view all around in good weather as I got. I began walking 15.30 pm and thought I would make it in 4,5 to 5 hours. Had to be back before darkness. I had to turn back close to Skeggi and came back 20.30 and then the sun had gone down. The walking distance to Skeggi and back is about 14 km but my trip was aobout 12 km. The walking conditions were not good for a long period of time because I sank deep in the snow in every step. It was important to wear crampons most of the time. I was alone all the time and enjoyed the quietness, stillness and the great view 100%. But I was a little bit tired in my lower limbs after the trip.
