Hiking

After the scramble you will come across signposts. Take right towards Vesturdalur along the rock face for the Klappir viewpoint and the end of the Jökulsa canyon.

Hiking

A very nice path leads up along the cliffs with a view down into the gorge. You can get to the top via ladders and ropes.

It is really worth walking the gorge to the end. The view is incredibly beautiful and the top of the canyon is perfect for a picnic with a view!
