Secret Lake and Troll Mountains
We take off from the picturesque town of Akureyri and head out to the fjord of Eyjafjordur, Iceland´s longest fjord. Our route takes us over Akureyri with a view of the fjord and head into the valleys and mountains surrounding Akureyri. The valley of Öxnadalur is the seat of Hraun, the old family seat of one of Iceland´s most renowned poets, Jónas Hallgrímsson. The valley of Vatnsdalur above the house has the beautiful Hraunsvatn at its middle. The lake is rich with natural trout and surrounded with majestic mountains, with the Hraundrangi pivot-like peak the most majestic of those, long believed to hold a treasure chest filled with gold at its zenith, but found to be a false claim when it was ascended by two Icelanders and an American in 1956.
We land at the bottom of the valley for that perfect picture moment and a sip of sparkling wine before taking off again for a flight back to Akureyri you will get a nice view over the ski area and the beautiful town of Akureyri.
