Program zájezdu

Den 1

Day 1

Leaving on our passenger boat Bjarnarnes from Ísafjörður harbor at 9:00 AM. The sailing to Hornvík Bay takes about 2,5 hours and en route you can see the whole coastline and bays that are carved into Hornstrandir. All these bays were once occupied by our ancestors that harvested the land and fished in those waters. We make land under the old farm of Horn and shoulder our daypacks for a hike up to Hornbjarg bird cliffs. Our first stop is the very tip of Horn where the view over the whole bay is breathtaking. We continue along the grassy slope next to the cliff’s edge up to Mt. Miðfell. The last part is a pretty steep slope but nothing to be worried about. You’re in safe hands. We then drop down to Miðdalur Valley where we get a good look down the sheer face of the cliffs. This is where the hard men in Hornvík Bay used to rappel down hemp ropes to collect eggs in the old days. Each summer they collected thousands of eggs to eat during the long winter months. We continue to the small lake in Miðdalur where whopper swans reside during the summer and kittiwakes come in hundreds to bathe in the lake each day. Pretty impressive sight. Next we walk over the ridge of Múli and start the last leg of today’s adventure, climbing the peak of Kálfatindar (535 m). The climb is pretty steep when we get closer to the top but the trail is pretty good. You will be rewarded with a great view over the whole North coast of Iceland. Drangajökull Glacier can be seen and big part of the cliffs. What a great highlight of the day. We then start our descent to our camp where our personal gear will be waiting and a well deserved dinner.

Den 2

Day 2

After a hearty breakfast, we start on today’s hike pass waterfall Drífandi where stories of polar bear encounters will be told. Polar bears sometimes swim or drift all the way from East coast of Greenland to these bays and struggle for survival where nothing can be hunted. We walk up Innstidalur Valley and through Almenningar Pass where we stand again at the edge of the cliffs. From there we continue to the lighthouse in Látravík where we have our lunch and enjoy the scenery. After a good break, we head over Kýrskarð Pass and back to basecamp. We’ve now done a good circle and will be rewarded with a barbecue on the beach!

Den 3

Day 3

We take an easy morning and then say final goodbye to Hornvik and our friendly foxes, shoulder our bags and make a traverse to the fjord of Veiðileysufjörður in the South. The hike takes us up 520 meters in Hafnarskarð Pass. From there we get a good view over to the South and see our final destination way down in the fjord. There is usually some snow in the pass that makes for a nice bum ride down on the other side. Then we follow the path down to the fjord where the boat will pick us up around 6 or 7 PM for an hour journey back to Ísafjörður.
