East Iceland’s best-kept secret... Stórurð (Boulder Hollow) Info: A somewhat difficult hike because of gravelly areas and screes on about 15% of the way. Around 16 km. Traverses 500 m of elevation. From Vatnskarð pass (431 m), this day's hike starts by going up and crossing the mountain Geldingafjall (640 m), then continuing inland west of Súlur peaks. There are excellent views over Njarðvík, Fljótsdalshérað valley, the black sandy beach of Héraðsflói bay, and perhaps even to Vatnajökull glacier and Mt. Snæfell in the eastern part of the central highlands. We then go down into Stórurð, an expanse of enormous rocks intersected by a small river. Calm turquoise-colored basins of icy water lie hidden among the huge boulders, often with flat banks of short, tender, green grass. Returning from this mysterious place, we can opt either for the hike along the Dyrfjöll (Door Mountains) or the easy way down the valley below Rjúpnafell peak.

This is one of Icelands most beutiful place, in my opinion. Located right under the "Doormountain" lie these gigantic rocks that once upon a time fell from the mountain and made a huge gap in them (the door). The rocks are enourmous and make you think about what it must have been like when half the mountain came tombling down the hill.... The lakes inbetween the rocks have the most crazy blue collar that I have ever seen. Just stunning.
