What the access data means
- The approach is recorded as likely foot access road access.
- The nearest recorded Highland-road context is F959, about 16692 m from the mapped place; this does not prove that the road is required or currently open.
- The record carries a review date of 2026-05-04. This date alone does not establish a field visit or confirm today's access; individual sources and current conditions still need checking.

Make the stop resilient
Open the map before departure and compare this point with nearby hikes, roads and alternative stops. Recheck weather, road status and local signs on the day; a useful Iceland plan keeps this stop optional when the access data is old, incomplete or weather-dependent.
