Hofsgljúfur is a small canyon formed by the Hofsá River. You can find it about 3 kilometers east of the village of Brekka. There is a bridge on road 953 directly over the canyon, and from it, you’ll have a beautiful view of the Hofsgljúfur canyon, the Hofsá River, and the massif of Mount Teitatindur.
