Starting point
Vestri-Fellsfjara / Parking area by Fjallsárlón

Although the Breiðármörk trail is marked red, most of it is considered blue. The trail is marked across the sands, rocky terrain and moraines. The path is not even all the way through and can get fairly rocky at times. There are no significant elevation changes, or unbridged rivers and streams, so it should not involve any special difficulties for hikers. The trail is nearly 15 km long and you can expect about 5 hours to complete it. No drinking water can be found along the way, making it necessary to bring it with you.
