Ascents Eyjan i Ásbyrgi (82m) 07.08.2018

A short and easy hike along a trail (A2) from the Ásbyrgi campground. The trail head is at the camping. The route heads first north and then it goes up the cliff where it is suitable for ascent. From there, 2 km to the south. From Eyjan, there is a nice view to the impressing horse-shoe shaped canyon.

View from the inner inner part of Ásbyrgi (Botnstjörn). Eyjan (the island) is seen to the left. The eastern canyon margin is seen to the right.
