    I was there in September too last year, river was quite a bit higher so it was shoes off and icy feet! I'm surprised they don't put another log down for the first bit. Stunning place. It's also worth climbing past the top of the falls, crossing the river and coming back down the other side of the gorge.

      This was the first hike I ever did in Iceland. It was incredible! Did it back in 2010, right after the Eyjafjallajokull eruption. There weren't any safety lines back then, at least none that I can remember.

    Hey Jeannie! This was a lovely surprise to watch this video! I was supposed to be in Iceland this spring but because of everything going on I had to cancel. Glymur is one of my favorite hikes in Iceland, I usually start on the other side and then cross through the top on my way back down. Such a fun hike, plus the story behind it is so quirky too! Thanks for the video!!

    Thanks for the wonderful video. Special thanks for the wonderful drone footage. Nice of your follower to share this. I would suggest a decent pair of hiking boots. They will keep your feet dryer/warmer and provide more ankle support. Trust this old hillbilly on that point! LOL

    Hi Jeannie,
    we're planning to visit Iceland in the second half of April. Do you maybe know what conditions to expect on this route in April and is it more of a advanced one for experienced hikers or not so much? Also, how long does it take to get up to the Glymur and back to the parking lot?
