How do I get to the Laugarvatn Round Path trailhead?

Laugarvatn Round Path is in West Iceland. Use the map on this page for the trailhead coordinates and check live road conditions before you drive — some trailheads sit on gravel or F-roads that need a 4×4 and only open in summer.

Tell someone your plan (or file one at safetravel.is), carry a charged phone and layers, check the forecast, and turn back if fog, wind or rising rivers set in. Don’t rely on phone signal.

When is the best time to hike Laugarvatn Round Path?
