Rauðfeldsgjá is a crevice in the mountain so narrow and with walls so high that it feels like you are entering directly into the mountain itself. As you explore further inside, don’t forget to bring good, waterproof clothing and shoes for your journey to the center of the earth.
It is named after a character, Rauðfeldur, who was reportedly thrown into the ravine by Bárður Snæfellsás, a semi-legendary figure in Icelandic folklore. The ravine cuts into the eastern side of Botnsfjall mountain, is part of the Snæfellsjökull National Park, and is located on the southern coast, nearly at the western tip of the Snæfellsnes peninsula.
