Borgarfjörður eystri: Three Lakes E-Bike Tour

This e-bike tour offers a sustainable way to explore the hidden landscapes of Víknaslóðir, taking you far beyond the reach of a rental car and deep into one of Iceland’s most remote regions. Once home to small farming communities, this now-deserted wilderness is shaped by centuries of human history and nature reclaiming the land, and is today inhabited mainly by sheep and birdlife. The ride leads toward a remarkable volcanic landscape where the goal is to reach three secluded lakes formed within an ancient rhyolite basin, created by a mix of explosive volcanic activity, landslides, and glacial erosion over time.

From the lakes, riders are rewarded with sweeping views over the inner valley of Breiðavík, once a thriving farming settlement now largely abandoned. The peaceful mountain setting offers a unique contrast between still waters, rugged peaks, and wide open valleys. After spending time exploring and taking in the scenery, the journey continues with a descent down the hillside, retracing the same route back to the village, completing a quiet yet deeply scenic loop through Iceland’s ancient wilderness.
