Autumn colors are still in bloom, so don’t miss the chance to explore one of the many recreational areas in and around Akureyri before they fade away.

A great option is the scenic hiking route along the Glerá River, which flows through the town. There are well-maintained paths and trails that stretch from the estuary to the dam in Glerárdalur Valley, covering just over 10 km one way. Along the way, you’ll encounter 10 bridges, allowing you to customize your hike to suit your time and fitness level.
