点评:Asbyrgi is yet another remarkable land formation in Iceland. It is located off Route 861 and is one of the major natural attractions that form what is referred to as the Diamond Circle in the north of Iceland.
There is a Visitor Centre with free carpark and toilets where you will find a handful of trails leading into Asbyrgi, a horseshoe shaped canyon with a partly forested valley lined with tall cliffs. There is also a trail that climbs the valley cliffside and allows you to walk the rim to the end of the canyon where you are afforded remarkable downward views of the canyon floor, a tranquil lake and forested area.
There is also a road that enters the canyon, ending at a small carpark near the lake at the southern end. The lake waters are crystal clear. You can see quite a few Artic Char swimming around. The cliffs that bend around the lake are home to numerous nesting birds as well. There are free toilets to use at the carpark here as well.
Overall, we loved the natural geology and geography of Asbyrgi. The canyon floor forests and birdlife were very nice to see, while walking the canyon rim provided incredible views and photo opportunities as well as a chance to get some exercise. This is one of those special memorable places in Iceland that we'd love to revisit someday.
翻译:阿斯匹吉峡谷是冰岛另一处引人注目的地貌。它位于861号公路旁,是构成冰岛北部“钻石圈”的主要自然景点之一。
游客中心设有免费停车场和卫生间,您可以在那里找到几条通往阿斯匹吉峡谷的小径。阿斯匹吉峡谷呈马蹄形,山谷部分被森林覆盖,两旁是高耸的悬崖。还有一条小径可以沿着山谷的悬崖攀爬,沿着边缘走到峡谷的尽头,在那里您可以俯瞰峡谷底部、宁静的湖泊和森林的壮丽景色。
还有一条通往峡谷的道路,尽头位于南端湖泊附近的一个小型停车场。湖水清澈见底。您可以看到不少北极红点鲑在湖中游动。环绕湖泊的悬崖也是众多筑巢鸟类的家园。这里的停车场也提供免费卫生间。
总的来说,我们非常喜欢阿斯比吉的自然地质和地理环境。峡谷底部的森林和鸟类令人赏心悦目,而沿着峡谷边缘漫步,不仅能欣赏到令人惊叹的美景,还能拍出各种照片,还能锻炼身体。这是冰岛那些特别令人难忘的地方之一,我们希望有一天能再次造访。
