Kadu Flyer
Upon the entrance to Rivendell
Places like this really do exist.
This was taken part way down the route to Glymur the highest waterfall in Iceland. There are a number of routes up, none of which are particularly easy and some not for the feint of heart.
In October 2013 we hiked up the opposite bank, you have to cross the river on a log bridge (really), climb with rope assistance and then wander along the edge opposite. We did it in snow and ice which is why we were hiking up this side on this trip!
This side wasn't much better, very muddy and slippery and in places too close to the edge. On the advice from an Icelandic guide coming down, who advised us not to go too much further, we turned around. It was worth it for this view alone though.
If there is a next time it will be the very long but safe route :-)
I'm hoping there will be a next time!
