It is an ideal place to take a break and enjoy the view. From there, the path leads through Vatnagarðar and Skútuvogur. Next, you follow the trail from Bátavogur. Then, you cross Sæbraut again and turn left onto the bike path heading back toward Laugardalur. The final stretch runs through Laugardalur’s green trails where trees, flowers, and parkland provide cyclists with a peaceful and pleasant end to an enjoyable urban loop.
