When driving to Básar, take a left turn from Road 1, east of the Markarfljót River, onto Road 249, which becomes F249 by the farm Stóra-Mörk. This road leads all the way to Básar. Please note that there are some unbridged glacial rivers along the route, which must be crossed. Only well-equipped jeeps and larger vehicles can safely cross these rivers. They can be dangerous, so make sure to obtain up-to-date information about their condition before driving to Básar.
In Básar’s vicinity, there are hiking trails suitable for everyone. Hikers of all ages and abilities can enjoy the “Básar Circle,” which takes about one hour. There is a beautiful view from Réttarfell Mountain, and Útigönguhöfði Mountain is suitable for those seeking more challenging hikes. Hvannárgil Canyon is like a wonderland. A detailed hiking map can be purchased from the warden in Básar or at Útivist’s office in Reykjavík.
