Borgarfjörður Eystri is one of the best places to begin a hike in the country of "Víknaslóðir", also known as "The trails of the Inlets". This is a broad trail yet you will have no problem knowing which trail is which.
We recommend that you spend ten days on the hike. However, if you are just interested in a five-day hike you can always explore the Northern or Southern area. When starting Bakkagerði in Borgarfjörður you will have preparatory assistance to insure that you have a wonderful hike to Víknaslóðir.
