Directions
It is permitted to fish on all banks in all lakes There are two ways to get to the lakes, either via a jeep trail in Núpsdalur and then walk to the lakes, which takes one to one and a half hours. Or take Arnarvatnsvegur and walk from there, which is shorter but the trail is quite difficult due to moorland. Therefore, that walk takes about the same time.
