Itinerary description
The first stage consists on a short but intense climb through an old and degraded 4x4 track. Some short sections have to be hiked on foot, but it can be mostly pedalled all the way up. Once reached the top, there's a very fun descend through the same way down.
It's a good circuit for practicing intense climb ups and fast Enduro descends.
I did this circuit twice before moving onto the next stage.
For the second stage, follow the same way up and when reaching the end of the ciclable track, cross to the other side of the river. There, you can find a hiking track that goes all the way up to the lake and eventually to Bíldudalur.
This section is way harder to cicle up through due to the extreme rocky terrain. I hiked most of it.
You could reach the lake and start the descend there. However I find that the last section is not enjoyable enough to be worth the hike. (If someone would be interested in teaming up and clearing this last section to make it more rideable, let me know).
The point where I reached, is where I find the most fun Enduro descend starts. This is such an enjoyable and fun descend all the way down to Tálknafjörður.
