The route starts on foot or by bike from the new power station building by the Glerá River. From there, follow the Fallorka Trail, which runs along the west side of the river. This path was created in connection with the dam further up the valley.
You will pass the motorsport area of the Akureyri Car Club (BA) and the Snowmobile and Motorcycle Association (KKA). Along the way, there are two viewpoints where you can see the dramatic canyon and beautiful waterfalls—both are clearly marked. After the KKA area, the route curves around the shooting range of the Akureyri Shooting Club (SA), which is well fenced off.
After crossing the road leading to the shooting club’s clubhouse, continue along a path that connects to a gravel track. Follow it across a cattle grid, then take a short detour up the slope before turning left (south) onto a track that leads further into the valley, all the way toward the new Glerárdalur dam. However, you only follow this track for a short distance, until you reach a point opposite the parking area commonly used by hikers heading to Mount Súlur (on the other side of the river).
A small sign marks where you leave the road and take a steep path down into a ravine, which leads to a footbridge further below. Cross the bridge and follow the path up the eastern bank to the parking area mentioned earlier.
From the parking area, follow the Súluvegur road all the way down to the Mjólkursamsalan diary building. There, switch to a walking path and continue across Þingvallarstræti near the Flúðir preschool. Turn left, cross the bridge, and at the roundabout go almost full circle before taking the path that leads back down to the power station, completing the loop.
