Rauðfeldsgjá is a deep and dramatic gorge that cuts into the eastern side of Botnsfjall mountain, west of the Hnausahraun lava field. The gorge splits the mountain down to its base, forming a narrow and shadowy ravine.
Visitors can walk into the gorge, which is characterized by tall, vertical palagonite walls. In several places, the cliffs lean inward, blocking much of the daylight and creating a dark and atmospheric setting.
At the innermost part of the gorge, the stream Sleggjubeina plunges down in a tall waterfall into the depths below. The combination of water, rock formations, and shifting light makes Rauðfeldsgjá one of the most striking natural features on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula.
Gjáin er áhugaverð náttúrumyndun.
