This river is located just east of the hamlet Varmahlid in the Skagafiord District and crossed by road no. 1 in its vicinity. Three rods are permitted per day and the catch consists of large brown trout, arctic char, sea trout and salmon. The area is 12 km long, from the aforementioned hamlet to the confluence in the north.
The Skagafiord District is among the most renowned Saga areas of the country, where many of the most fateful events of the power struggle and battles of the 12th century took place. It does not matter where the anglers look, everywhere around them one historic site or another or beautiful mountains and fertile agricultural areas meet the eye.
The distance from the capital is about 296 km by the Whale Bay tunnel.
