Stunning canyon in Iceland

Sightseeing

Message from Isleifur Eli

Rauðfeldsgjá Gorge, also known as Red-Cloak Rift, is a stunning canyon located in Botnsfjall Mountain on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula in Iceland. Visitors can hike up to and explore inside the gorge during the summer months, but be prepared for some clambering and getting a bit wet. According to local folklore, the gorge is tied to a saga about a half-giant guardian spirit of the peninsula. Nearby attractions include Snæfellsjökull glacier, Lóndrangar sea stacks, and Djúpalónssandur beach. Don't forget your waterproof gear and sturdy shoes for this adventure!
