Summer is still trying to defend its position and the days at this time of the year are often wonderful sunny, but a touch of autumn is already in the air. During this tour you bring back home the herd to the farm, but with a little detour into the breathtaking valley of Flateyrardalur.
6 nights, 5 days riding, 1 horse/person, daily rides 12-30 km
Day 1. You are picked up at Akureyri airport or the bus station in the late afternoon. A 30 minutes drive will bring you to the farmhouse. After dinner details about the next days will be provided.
Day 2 After breakfast, we drive to Fremstafell where we saddle our horses for the first riding excursion, which takes us alongside the river Skjálfandafljót. Today we do not ride with the herd. Dinner and overnight stay at the farm.
Day 3 After breakfast, we drive by bus again to Fremstafell, where we saddle our horses - but this time we take the herd with us. We ride along Lake Ljósavatn into the valley of Fnjóskádalur and to the Farm of Hallgilsstaðir and further on to Böðvarsnes. Here the horses stay overnight and we drive back to the farmhouse, where we will have dinner and sleep.
