This bike route begins at the sports area by Fagrilundur in Kópavogur, centrally located in Fossvogsdalur. Along the way, you'll pass interesting spots such as Hermannsskógur, Norræni vinalundurinn, Álfaskógur, and the Tree Museum in Meltunga at the eastern end of the valley. The area is rich in vegetation, and it's enjoyable to observe the environment along the route, watching the green shoots early in the spring and the vibrant colors in the autumn. Many bird species nest in the area, the birdlife is rather lively in the valley year-round, and it’s fun to see the resident bird species that choose to endure the winter in Fossvogsdalur.
