Egilsstaðir / Borgarfjörður

Arrive at the Egilsstaðir airport in the morning and transfer to our local guest house, home for the next 5 nights.

After, take a hike through Borgarfjörður valley following sheep trails up to Dimmidalur (the Dark Valley) and keep an eye out for the "hidden people" as we pass through legendary elf communities. This evening, settle in for a farm-to-table dinner prepared by our host.
