点评:The Studlagil Canyon is located on Route 923 south of the Ring Road around 70km from Egilsstaðir. There are two parking locations, one small carpark on the west side of the river near the early 20th-century bridge that is free. However, you have a much longer hike to the canyon from this location. The east side carpark costs 1000kr for basic vehicle. Use the Parka app to make payment.
There are toilets and a food wagon here as well if you fancy a bite to eat or drink after visiting Studlagil. There is a food wagon here as well if you fancy a bite to eat or drink after visiting Studlagil.
From the East Carpark, you will have to walk in nearly 4km to the famous basalt column lined canyon walls so be ready for roughly 8km walk as part of the experience. The walk is fairly comfortable, no real ascents, just distance to cover until you arrive.
You will see basalt formations amongst the hillsides, falls and streams in route, all good natural distractions. However, not much can prepare you for the remarkable scene that awaits, when you begin to see the powder blue waters gushing past the columns and the waterfall in the background.
Views up the walking paths are amazing. However, making your way down to the riverbed is walking through the narrow gap is priceless. We were the first to arrive in the morning and had the place mostly to ourselves for nearly 30 minutes. While there was little light making its way into the canyon at that early hour, the experience was memorable.
We wore gloves while climbing around on the columns at water level. They were useful but not essential. Shoes with good grip are an absolute most however.
This is one of those special places we remember about our trip to Iceland. Would certainly include it in must places to visit if we were to do the Ring Road trip around Iceland again in the future.

如果您在游览斯图德拉吉尔峡谷后想吃点东西或喝点东西,这里也提供洗手间和餐车。
从东侧停车场出发,您需要步行近4公里才能到达著名的玄武岩柱峡谷壁,因此,作为体验的一部分,请做好大约8公里步行的准备。步行过程相当舒适,没有真正的上坡路段,只需步行一段距离即可到达。
沿途,你会看到山坡间的玄武岩地层、瀑布和溪流,这些都是绝佳的自然景观。然而,当你看到粉蓝色的河水从石柱间奔涌而过,背景中还有瀑布时,你几乎无法预料即将呈现的壮丽景象。
沿着步道向上欣赏,景色令人叹为观止。然而,穿过狭窄的峡谷,下到河床的路程更是弥足珍贵。我们是清晨最早到达的,几乎独自在这里待了30分钟。虽然当时光线昏暗,但这段经历令人难忘。
我们在水面上攀爬石柱时戴着手套。手套虽然有用,但并非必需。抓地力好的鞋子绝对是必需的。
这是我们冰岛之旅中难忘的特别景点之一。如果我们将来再次进行冰岛环岛之旅,一定会把它列入必游景点之列。
