Itinerary description

Hike in the Jökulfall valley to a small nice waterfall in an impressive canyon.
In the first part a river has to be crossed. The way back passes two lakes and crosses two small canyons with another waterfall. We crossed them on snow fields in mid juli 2018. So it is not clear wether you can cross them under other circumstances.
