About Álkugil
Álka, innst í Vatnsdal að vestanverðu, er ein af nokkrum ám sem renna í Vatnsdalsá en hún er þeirra stærst. Álka „fellur í hrikalegu hamragili, Álkugili, niður í Vatnsdal, skammt utan við Grímstungu“ (1). Gilið er djúpt og vatnsmikið. Í því má sjá berglög, bergganga, fossa og fallegan gróður (2). Merkt hefur verið gönguleið eftir austanverðu gilinu frá veginum að Einvígisfossi. „Leiðin er um 2 klst. löng og telst vera meðalerfið“ (3).
