Bicycling across the capital
Trip difficulty is 2 out of 5 possible

Category: Daytrip, available directly from Reykjavik in Iceland.

From Hlemmur, at the end of the main shopping street, Laugarvegur, we catch a ride with the local bus to Vatnsendi by the Elliðavatn Lake on the outskirts of Reykjavík. Traveling through the area gives an interesting insight into the fast transformation of rural Iceland into urbanic Reykjavík. We ride along the Elliðaá river, the only inner city salmon fishing river in the world and the host of Iceland’s first hydroelectric power plant. Continuing to the Öskjuhlíð area where we visit the Pearl, a UFO looking glass dome, viewing the capital and its surroundings through binoculars on the balcony. After enjoying the spectacular view of the Capital area we ride down to the seaside and cycle along the shore visiting the lighthouse at Grótta beach. Our trip ends downtown Reykjavík in one of our favorite bar & grill. Your first beer is complimentary...
