From Brjanslaekur it is a one hour walk to the location. From the bar (opposite the small harbour) walk in direction of the church. Before the river go to the right and follow the path uphill along the river. After a while you will see a gorge. In this gorge, just before the waterfall the sediments are exposed. In the layers you see the black fossil wood. You can see whole fossil trees in the exposure. You can also see fossil leaves here.
The location is a protected natural area. It is not permitted to collect fossils here. Do not use hammers here!
Fossil wood and leaves of trees from the Neogene period. Amongst others, you can find Birch leaves.
