How long is the Selgil Husafell hike?
The Selgil Husafell trail is about 56 km based on its recorded GPS track. Times vary with pace, weather and how much you stop — plan conservatively and turn back early if conditions change.
How do I get to the Selgil Husafell trailhead?

Is Selgil Husafell safe to hike alone?
Iceland trails are often unmarked and weather turns quickly. 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.
