All three rivers at Battle Hill have one thing in common; they are all tributaries of the mighty glacial river SkaftaÌ. From the Battle Hill Lodge, anglers will cycle through each of the following waterways during their stay:
- VatnamoÌt River: VatnamoÌt means âRiver Junctionâ in Icelandic. This place is often called the junction of junctions in Iceland. This is where the FossaaÌlar, GeirlandsaÌ, and HoÌrgsaÌ rivers meet the Mighty SkaftaÌ.
- FossaÌlar River: This river is extremely beautiful and has diverse pools. Part of the Fossalar river is on Unescoâs natural heritage list, so you can imagine the beauty of the landscape in this area.
- Geirlandsa River: Believed to be the main spawning tributary of the SkaftaÌ river, it is often called the most beautiful seatrout river in Iceland.
