Walking upstream of the river you will reach a small stream called Hrauná which runs along Grábrók-lava field. If conditions allow you can hike through the lava-field until you reach Paradísarlaut and Glanni area (1,5+ hr walk). A more comfortable option for you would be to drive up to Glanni waterfall and explore Paradísarhylur and nearby trails.

Kiðá river in Hreðavatn is a part of the Laxfoss estate as well as parts of the river itself. Not only is Kiðá and its surroundings a fantastic hiking area, but also a brilliant spot to catch brown trout!
