Þjófadalur (Thief valley)

Þjófadalur is a beautiful valley that lies south of Snæfell. To get there you have to walk, the best is to walk along the Þjófadalsá river through Þjófadalur between Snæfell and Þjófahnjúkar. The valley is beautiful and accessibility is only good as summer passes. If you walk east into the valley, there is a very good view of Eyjabakki and Þóriseyjar.
