Discover Iceland
Víknaslóðir, also known as the Trails of the Inlets, is an extensive hiking area in East Iceland stretching from Borgarfjörður Eystri south through remote coves and fjords towards Loðmundarfjörður. The region is known for its well-marked trail network, colourful mountains, black-sand beaches, green valleys and dramatic coastal scenery.
The trails pass through areas including Brúnavík, Breiðavík, Húsavík and Loðmundarfjörður. Hiking huts along the route make multi-day trips between the remote inlets possible. Víknaslóðir is particularly well suited to experienced hikers looking for secluded landscapes, abandoned farm sites and varied mountain terrain away from Iceland's busiest tourist routes.
Víknaslóðir crosses remote terrain where weather can change rapidly. Trails pass over mountain saddles and some sections may require crossing rivers or streams. Hikers should be well equipped, confident with navigation and prepared for fog, wind and wet conditions.
