Ásavegur - trail

The trail Ásavegur used to be an important highway through the South of Iceland. This centuries-old man-made route would be used by people from different directions to go fishing, for example, or to collect their sheep and cattle from the mountains.

Between Orrustudal and Hnaus is a marked hiking trail along the old Ásavegur trail, about a 6 km walk. On this trail is the highest point of Flóahreppur, with breathtaking views in all directions. Information signs on Orrustudalur (The Valley of Battles), Skotmannshóll (Archer's Hill), and Mannabeinsmelur (The Human Bone Field) are located at different points during the hike.

These locations are a great part of Icelandic history. Here is the stage of Flóamanna-Saga; two big battles were fought in Orrustudalur valley, and from Skotmannshóll or Archer's Hill came one of the greatest bowshots in the saga.
