A bus will take us from Ísafjörður to Seljaland in the inner parts of Álftafjörður where the hike starts. We will walk up the lush hillside that leads to the Álftafjarðarheiði heath, the one that separates Álftafjörður from Önundarfjörður, offering a spectacular view over the mythic region.

In the afternoon, we will stop by at the old farmhouse in Korpudalur in Önundarfjörður, now a hostel. This is where our hike ends, and from there, we will drive back to Ísafjörður.
