Gjain hiking trail2.9 km

Gjain

106 km from Reykjavík

We made this trail as a study kit for an outdoor activity project for schools. The trail leads from the parking place at Rauðá river, close to Stöng. Stöng is a ruin of a farm from the Wiking age. The area has often been affected by ash and pummice from eruptions in the volcano Hekla. The study kit for the hike includes a description of activities for students. It can also be interesting for families or a group of friends to follow. Detailed description/instruction: The aim of this project is to make students see and understand how people lived at the time of settlement and what impact the Plinian eruption of the volcano Hekla in 1104 had on the valley Þjórsárdalur. Students work in groups of 2-3. Participants start their hike at the parking place on the southern side of the river Rauðá from where they hike to the excavation site of the settlement farm Stöng. After observing the long house, farm sheds and stables they use their smartphones to follow the trail to the waterfall Gjáfoss. Participants track their own trail and mark waypoints of historical and geological interest. On the way they observe signs of the Plinian eruption from 1104, collect pumice and discover volcanic formations as basalt columns. They use their smartphones also to take photos of places of interest. Task 1: Excavation site at Stöng (short description and photos). Mark the place as waypoint. The farm house of Stöng is larger than farm houses in later centuries. Explain why. Task 2: Find signs of the impact of volcano eruptions on the trail (photos). Mark the place as waypoint. Find a peace of pumice and proof that it floats on water (photo/video). Please leave the piece of pumice at the site. Task 3: Observe the waterfall Gjáfoss and it’s surrounding (photos). Mark the place as waypoint. Take a photo of basalt columns. How do basalt columns form?

Mt Sveinstindur Day 1

170 km from Reykjavík

Day 1 of a 5-day trek in Iceland. We hiked to Mt. Sveinstindur in Vatnajökull National Park. Steep ascent especially the last 100 m vertically and with a lot of wind.

From the top, we descended to the Sveinstindur cabin, next to a dried lake, where we stayed the night. The cabin is very well equipped. Although it was August we had colder weather than average. Maximum temperatures were around 8-10˚C during the day, down to 2-4˚C at night. Wind can get very intense. Bring appropriate clothing with many layers for the hike and for the time at the cabin.

4T Trekking Day Iceland Langisjor

171 km from Reykjavík

Here we spend the day hiking the Fögrufjöll mountains to Langistjór lake. Langisjór lake is one of the largest natural lakes in iceland, and yet reminded a mystery until themid-19th century as people rarely traveled this far inland until more recent years. We hike along rarely-used footpath trailing a great length of ‘long sea’ Spanning 20km long and 2km wide, langisjór floods most of the valley, with an occasional green island piercing the water’s tranquil surface. From the hilltops, we have epic views of the colossal Vatnajökull glacier consuming the horizon

Iceland South Fjallsarlon hiking trail4.8 km

Iceland South Fjallsarlon

270 km from Reykjavík

Iceland South - Route 1 - Fjallsárlón View of Fjallsárlón Glacier Lake Very easy. Great View. Fjallsárlón is a glacier lake at the south end of the Icelandic glacier Vatnajökull. Fjallsjökull which is part of the bigger glacier reaches down to the water of the lake and some ice-bergs are drifting by on its surface. The glacier calving into the lagoon is a part of Vatnajökull National Park and the better known glacier lake Jökulsárlón is not far from there. From the glacier lake Breiðárlón a little river flows into the Fjallsárlón. Fjallsárlón è un lago glaciale all'estremità meridionale del ghiacciaio islandese Vatnajökull. La lingua glaciale del Fjallsjökull, cha parte da questo ghiacciaio, arriva fino al lago, spezzandosi poi in iceberg che coprono la sua superficie.

Thrihyrningur Mountain Thrihyrningur 30 09 2018 hiking trail18 km

Thrihyrningur Mountain Thrihyrningur 30 09 2018

102 km from Reykjavík

Þríhyrningur means "three peaks mountain" in Islandic, due to the three main peaks on its top. There is a marked path leading to the top, starting from the parking lot at the end of the road (see waypoint). However, I came walking from the forestry center of Tumastaðir (see waypoint), so I took a "shortcut" through the fields (instead of walking along the road up to the parking lot). For the way down I decided to take all the marked path down to the parking lot. Then I walked all the way back to the road 261. The view from the top of this mountain is really good. With good weather you can see Hekla volcano, Eyjafjallajökull volcano, and Mýrdalsjökull glacier.

Exploring Tumastadir hiking trail5.4 km

Husadalur To Langidalur hiking trail1.9 km

Husadalur To Langidalur

128 km from Reykjavík

The trail between the Volcano Huts and the Langidalur Hut takes you through the Húsadalur Valley and the birch woods of the Þórsmörk Nature Reserve and connects the two valleys, Húsadalur and Langidalur. Two intersections to the Laugavegur Trail to Landmannalaugar are along the trail. The trail is well marked and offers beautiful views of Þórsmörk and over to the Goðaland and Eyjafjallajökull Volcano & glacier. Old ruins from an early settlement can be seen from the trail in the Húsadalur Valley. Natural hot water is harnessed from the valley and is used for the small warm pool at the Volcano Huts, where travellers can take a nice warm bath after a long day hiking. Wooden steps lead you up from the Húsadalur Valley up onto a platform under a cliff where the Snorraríki Cave is located. An old story says that an outlaw named Snorri, took refuge in the cave after having been chased by farmers from nearby farms. The farmers accused Snorri of stealing sheep and wanted to bring him to justice. After having waited under the mouth of the cave for Snorri to surrender, the farmers finally gave up when Snorri, threw out the last of his rations as a statement that he could wait there indefinitely. The farmers left and Snorri escaped the rule of law. Experienced climbers can climb up into the cave but be carful as it is harder to get down then getting up. From the top of the wooden steps you start to descend towards the Langidalur Valley. On your way you will cross a small creek on bridges that have been set up and pass the Skuggi Cave on the right side of the path. The trail ends at the the Langidalur Hut. Walking between the two huts takes between 25 - 35 minutes plus time spent stopping for pictures and other activities.

Thorsmork Panorama hiking trail4.4 km

Thorsmork Panorama

129 km from Reykjavík

The Þórsmörk Panorama Trail takes you up and over the Valahnúkur mountain (454 m) from where you get an impressive 360° view over the volcanic landscape of Þórsmörk and the Eyjafjallajökull Volcano & Glacier. From the top of Valahnúkur you head down to the Langidalur Hut, where you can have a break and fill up your water bottle. Then head back through the Húsadalur Valley and the lush birch woods of Þórsmörk to the Volcano Huts, where you can have refreshments at the restaurant and catch the bus back to your destination. The trail is marked and maps are sold at the Volcano Huts. The trail is of moderate difficulty although it is a bit steep in parts where you ascend to the top of Valahnúkur. You should allow 1,5 - 2 hours to complete the full circle. www.volcanohuts.com

Hekla 10 10 2010 hiking trail14 km

Hekla 10 10 2010

115 km from Reykjavík

Went today to the Gateway to Hell, other name Mt. Hekla. Started off from Reykjavik aroun 6 am and it took us about 2hrs. to drive to the place where the hiking started. Hekla has been erupting with appr. 10 years interval for the past decades and based on that, will soon erupt again. Actually we saw some steam coming from the top and the ground there was warm, but most likely that´s just normal for an active volcano. Often there´s a cloud on the summit but we were lucky, clear sky and a great view. Rather easy hiking but long and therefore categorized as moderate. One can acutally start about 1,5 km nearer to the mountain than we did and make it shorter.

Songhellir Thorsmork hiking trail0.7 km

Songhellir Thorsmork

128 km from Reykjavík

The Sönghellir Cave (e. the song cave) is located 5 minutes away from the Volcano Huts in Húsadalur Þórsmörk. The cave is an ancient lava tube from a volcanic eruption and is fairly accessible. The path from the Volcano Huts takes you into the birch woods of Þórsmörk behind the big fistinctive Assa Rock that towers above the Volcano Huts. The trail leads you along a small dried up creek, past the Elf rock and further into a small canyon. At the end of the trail you should find a big crevasse, laden with big boulders that have fallen from the steep cliffs above. The crevasse is actually the opening to the Sönghellir Cave and to enter the cave you will have to climb up the boulders and inch your way through a hole under a big rock that is lodged in the very opening of the crevasse. Once you are inside the cave you can easily walk around and gaze at the rock formations and the waterfall that drips down from the roof of the cave. From the cave you can go the same way back or you can turn off the trail to the left and make a loop around the Assa Rock. You can go through the Elf Rock that is said to be the opening to the kingdom of the Elfs and follow the trail up towards the Assa. From there it is possible to climb to the top of the Assa but should not be done unless under supervision or by experienced climbers. From the Assa you can easily walk back to the Volcano Huts. The Sönghellir Cave is only 5 minutes away from the Volcano Huts but you should allow 15 - 20 minutes to complete the circle plus time that you spend inside the cave and at other interesting places along the way.

Markarfljot Canyon Thorsmork hiking trail1.8 km

Markarfljot Canyon Thorsmork

128 km from Reykjavík

Markarfljót Canyon Þórsmörk Hiking up to the cliffs of the Markarfljót Canyon offers beautiful views over the Þórsmörk area, the Markarfljót River, the Laugavegur Hiking Trail and the neighbouring mountains such as Tindfjöll and the Eyjafjallajökull volcano & glacier. You should reach the Markarfljót River in 5 minutes from the Volcano Huts. From the edge of the river you walk up along the cliffs beside the canyon, reaching the top of the cliffs in 10 minutes. When you reach the very top of the cliffs you will have to cross a 20 metre long and narrow stone bridge, with vertical drops on both sides. If you do not feel comfortable traversing the stone bridge then you can simply enjoy the view from safe distance and with solid ground under your feet. Going back, you have the option of taking the same way continuing into the Hamraskógar Woods. The cliffs of the Markarfljót Canyon are one of the great viewpoints of Þórsmörk and can be added to other hiking trails such as the Þórsmörk Panorama or the Þórsmörk Highlights. You should allow 30 - 40 minutes to complete the circle shown on the map, plus stops on the way.

Terrain looks flat, but mainly at the first half the trail is up and down. Excellent view to Skaftá river and waterfalls. Starting point is small car park belong the road - looks for the yellows stick. And start clockwise.

Hvannadalshnukur 2110 M hiking trail23 km

Hvannadalshnukur 2110 M

256 km from Reykjavík

Hvannadalshnúkur (2110m), the highest mountain in Iceland. For this hike we leave the car at Sandfell car park, a small parking area off the ring road where we will start our adventure. The hike can be divided into four well distinctive parts: 1- The first part takes us from the car park up to the beginning of the glacier at about 1100m of elevation. It's about 5km long on rocky terrain and here we'll be following, for a big part of it, a well-marked path. (Distance 5Km - Elevation gain 1000m) 2- The second part will take us up to the caldera rim of the Öræfajökull volcano at about 1800m of elevation. In this part we will be walking inside the glacier, crossing over crevasse after crevasse. The number of crevasses and the difficulty of them will highly depend on the time of the year. We need to be roped up and get our crampons and ice axe out of the backpack from this point onwards. (Distance 4km - elevation gain 700m) 3- The third part is mainly flat and will end at the base of the summit. It's about 2.5 Km and the snow conditions will greatly affect how long it takes us. (Distance 2.5Km - Elevation gain 0m) 4- The last part takes us to the summit. It's the shortest of the four parts with only about 1 Km distance but it's the most technical one. The conditions of the snow/ice will greatly affect the difficulty. Here we will be crossing a few more crevasses. (Distance 1 Km - Elevation gain 200 m) Although this mountain is not that high it is very difficult due to the amount of the crevasses on the glacier. For this reason I recommend this hike only for very experienced people. If you are not, like me, I highly recommend you to hire a local mountain guide. Not only do they have the technical skills but also they have knowledge about this particular glacier. I hired a guide through the company Glacier Adventure. Our guide, Reynir, was very good and we manage to reach the summit thanks to his great ability to always find a way to cross each crevasse. Last but not least mention that the weather conditions can get quite tough so you better have enough warm clothes with you, including gloves. Sunglasses and sunscreen are also a must. Overall it was a great effort and a fantastic experience. Full description and more pictures at Back from Summit: Hvannadalshnúkur

Ascend all day. quite steep sometimes so get ready to breath deep. some parts are exhilarating as you walk narrow paths and mountain ridges, it's not dangerous if you are careful enough, but defo add some spices to the whole hike, and views to either side of ridge are just beautiful. on top of mountain there are few newly formed volcanic summits and a volcano, also you traverse in between glaciers so it's possible to see that blue blue ice/snow which is mesmerizing. be prepared as climate changes completely on top, compared to a start of a trail. windy, foggy, cold. Upon hitting the summit wind was more than 20 m/s, the warden in the hut notified us of this condition, but we risked it and did the trail anyway, wasn't as bad as warden tried to portray it. ( safety first though) but If you have strong will everything is possible !

Skaelingar Sveinstindur hiking trail11 km

Skaelingar Sveinstindur

168 km from Reykjavík

From Skaelingar hut north to the Sveinstindur hut First 5 km on the road then through a rather narrow gorge with lots of stream crossings along the green Uxartindar mountains. At the end of the gorge you find a beautiful green lagoon. Next steep ascend of a hill and also steep descend on the other side. Because of erosion ba jökulhlaup it may rather be difficult to get down to valley ground.Then a small river must be forded. The rest of the hike follows the Skaftá river through lava deserts and moss pastures. Be very careful in the moss. Don´t destroy it!

Iceland Trek Day 12 2016 08 24 From North To South hiking trail16 km

Iceland Trek Day 12 2016 08 24 From North To South

171 km from Reykjavík

It's part of a 20 days hike. Beware it's not the normal north south Iceland Hike. It's mostly offtrail, there are one extremly difficult river to cross and 20km on a glacier. There are a few dangers, I put tag on the track, but I'm not sure it's 100% acurate, because I made it from memory. I also put tag for water, but in case of water from snow it doesn't mean it will work for you too. In any case I'am not responsable if anything happen to anyone who follow this track. If you have question don't hesitate. Link of the video of the Hike: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fIwiThG_qM&t=16s

Strutslaug Hot Springs Day 5

149 km from Reykjavík

Day 5 of a 5-day trek in Iceland. This was a relaxing day with only a 12 km round trip hike to Strútslaug hot springs from the Strútsskáli cabin. The path passes next to Mt. Strútur. You can get into the hot springs, which are really hot, and also in a cold stream next to it. Although it was August we had colder weather than average. Maximum temperatures were around 8-10˚C during the day, down to 2-4˚C at night. Wind can get very intense. Bring appropriate clothing with many layers for the hike and for the time at the cabin. Our incredible guide was Sölvi Signhildar Úlfsson. Day 4 here: https://www.wikiloc.com/hiking-trails/alftavotn-to-strutur-day-4-181855936

Start at Sveinstindur hut on a footpath up the hill behind, walk then down to the lavasand valley. The ascent from here is steep but easy despite a small rocky belt and the last 50 metres to the top. You get an overwhelming view of the Langisjór lake and Vatnajökull glacier not before you reach the top. The arrival is as like as the curtain opens and the best concert ever begins.

Lomagnupur 22 01 2011

217 km from Reykjavík

Plan was to do two mountains today but only managed this one. The other one, Hatta, will have to wait. Due to bad shape of the road I had to leave the car 2km earlier than expected and then I also went up to early so I and came across impassable canyon so I had to go down about 250m. Very ice also. Didn´t put on the crampoons due to lots of rocks. Once I fell on my belly and couldn´t stop me with the ice-axe so I just turned and faced the direction I was sliding and steered pass the big rocks until I was able to stop. Also there was occasional fog. However mangaged to get to the summit and kind of adventurous trip ;). During summer this is an easy one, and it´s better not to go into the steep too soon, rather follow the river.

Just sublime hiking with a fantastic view of glaciers all the time. The trail is easy and well marked. It is very little used.

Stori Nupur

We made in Aprill. You need to find your way how to get to the river (not difficult). You can walk next to the river as long as you like. Very nice easy path. Waterfall small but very nice to sit next to it and take a rest. We came back some old fake road, a bit muddy, but still OK.

Fimmvorduhals Skogar Thorsmork Husadalur Volcano Huts hiking trail26 km

Fimmvorduhals Skogar Thorsmork Husadalur Volcano Huts

137 km from Reykjavík

Trail from Skógar to Þórsmörk, specifically to Volcano Huts in Húsadalur passing through: - Fosstorfufoss (0.7 km) - Innri Fellsfoss (1.8 km) - Kæfufoss (2.3 km) - Fimmvörðuháls (12.6 km) - Básar (21.2 km) Marvellous trail with jaw-dropping variety of landscapes, from watterfalls surrounded by lush green to other-worldly volcanic ice desert. I'm marking it as difficult because of the sheer length and potentially tough weather/surface conditions in the upper part. First part up to hut in Baldvinsskáli is easy, the only difficultu was a steady incline. After that there is a passage inbetween the glaciers. This year (July 2024), in comparison to when I did this trail in July 2019, there was still a lot of snow and at some points you had to walk on ice making thr passage more challanging. This stretch of the trail is also very often foggy. Following on the way down to Þórsmörk there was one moderately challanging part with steep decline covered with patch of melting snow. There is one parr of the trail with very chaotic mixture of chains and rope installed but its’s actually not very hard unless you have extreme fear of heights. When you cross that part the trail gets easy again. To get to Húsadalur from Básar, you need to cross the Krossá (the glacial river). There is a movable foot bridge that you have to use (Krossá can be very deep even if it doesn't look so and you shouldn't attempt to cross yourself). This time it was set up very close to Langidalur.

Laugavegurinn 1 2 Landmannalaugar Hrafntinnusker Alftavatn Hvanngil

138 km from Reykjavík

It's easy to follow the path, very good signals all the way. You don't have to be superfit to do it, you can make it in one or two days. Álftavatn is cool, but the hut is usually packed and the campground it's not the best, you'll better go to Hvanngil, it's quiter, very beautiful and easier to get place in the hut, even without reservation.

Amazing trek, very versatile, from colorful mountains to snow covered summits to Icelandic green mountain sides and Lake at the end. Few rivers to cross, so have your gear ready. we did it barefoot, not ass comfortable as with sandals, but manageable :) expect to have all kind of weather conditions (have your layers, you'll need them) and be ready to get soaked if you have no proper rain gear.

Day 6: from the camp NNE of Torfajokull to Strutslaug. Shortly after the pass E of our camp, waterfalls in the river were circumvented by going N uphill (waypoint) and then back down (rather steep) to the river. Nice hot pool at Strutslaug with a good spot for a tent, keep it clean!

132 km from Reykjavík

Easy to follow. You have to cross a couple of rivers. The first one, which is close to Hvanngil hut can be tricky depending on the snowmelt or the rain. Use the widest part you find and don't rely in the islands . Better ask advice to the hut or campground guards or anyone you may find coming the other way.

Last day, we felt really tired after those hard days, but we feel strong for the last track!Easy day, we had to spend the whole trail walking down, enjoying the lava views around the whole track.

Day 1 Laugavegur And Fimmvorduhals Trail Skogar To Baldvinsskali Hut hiking trail13 km

Day 1 Laugavegur And Fimmvorduhals Trail Skogar To Baldvinsskali Hut

138 km from Reykjavík

Officially there is no water supplies in the hut, but they did have some canisters and allowed us to refill. The last place to get water before reaching the hut is at the river crossing, still quite a few km before the hut. It is very important to carry some water with you and also refill (if possible) in the hut as there won’t be natural water supplies until you reach Þórsmörk at the end of next day. There is no trash disposal either, so you have to carry your own trash to the next hut. There is another hut, Fimmvörðuháls Mountain Hut a bit higher up in the mountain, which has more services, but you have to hike another hour to reach it and divert a bit from the main trail.

Day 2 Laugavegur And Fimmvorduhals Trail Baldvinsskali Hut To Langidalur hiking trail14 km

Day 2 Laugavegur And Fimmvorduhals Trail Baldvinsskali Hut To Langidalur

136 km from Reykjavík

There are some exposed areas with chains that might be tricky for people with vertigo, especially when carrying jumbo backpacks or in heavy rain. The chains in some parts were barely holding and didn’t serve their duty! There is also one short ridge which is exposed on both sides and with no support whatsoever. A really tricky place for people with vertigo (be ready to crawl if you have issues with heights). The bridge to cross the river before reaching the Langidalur hut has wheels – don’t be surprised if you won’t find it in the same place as map indicates! The camping has a tent with a few tables to hide from a bad weather while cooking or eating.

Normally, this is the last step in the Landmmanalaugar trail, if you still have force after the previous 4 tracks when you arriving Thormsmoek. But for us was the first trak, due to we decided to do in the other direction... Beautifull begining with the Skogafoss views but hard first climbing... Beautyful landscape of the Pass in rhe last Kilometers, arriving the old Baldvinsskali hut. Enjoy, next step, Fimmvörðuháls - Thorsmork

Day 3 Laugavegur And Fimmvorduhals Trail Langidalur To Emstrur hiking trail16 km

Day 3 Laugavegur And Fimmvorduhals Trail Langidalur To Emstrur

129 km from Reykjavík

You will have to cross one river today with a painfully cold water. Have sandals or water shoes to do it! Depending on the year it can be knee or even mid-thigh deep. Try crossing at the place where the river goes wider, it will be less deep. For general safety, don’t fasten your backpack in case you fall in the water. At the end of the hike there is a bridge to cross the river. The trail to reach the bridge is a bit exposed, but not too much. We think it would be much more complicated to do this section the opposite direction (north to south), especially for people with vertigo. We were lucky with our choice There is no trash disposal at the hut in Emstrur. The camping has a tent with a few tables to hide from a bad weather while cooking or eating. There is a nice Markarfljótsgljúfur canyon for a detour from the hut. A nice add on at the end of the day or next morning. (With our bad weather we decided to skip it)

Svein hiking trail4.2 km

Svein

170 km from Reykjavík

Gradual and non-stop ascent to the highest peak near Langisjór lake - Sveinstindur. Amazing views on a nice day. Marked trail, steady climb, hiking poles will be useful. You can come back the same way only (or continue somewhere else). More at: https://epiciceland.net/

Afangagil Landmannalaugar Holaskjol Day 5 9 hiking trail12 km

Afangagil Landmannalaugar Holaskjol Day 5 9

141 km from Reykjavík

Day 5: from Landmannalaugar to a camp close to the lakes NNE of Torfajokull. This route is not optimal: several river crossings, and a steep ascent from Drengsli (waypoint). Here is also the only tricky part of the 9-day tour, the last 10 m of the ascent is steep, slippery and exposed. So there should be better ways. At the end of the track, we crossed a broad ridge (scree) of ca. 900 m, but it may be better to go W of it. We did not see anybody after leaving Landmannalaugar.

Iceland Laugavegur Thorsmork To Landmannalaugar hiking trail50 km

Iceland Laugavegur Thorsmork To Landmannalaugar

129 km from Reykjavík

Details Day 1 : Thorsmork to Ermstrur (16.33 km) Day 2 : Emstrur to Alfavatn (16.59 km) Day 3 : Alfavatn to Hrafntinnusker (10.97 km) Day 4 : Hrafntinnusker to Landmannalaugar (10.07 km) This can be done in 2 to 3 days, especially if you're going the other "usual" way. Introduction to the trail The Landmannalaugar – Thorsmork route is called “Laugavegurinn”, The Hot Spring Route, which is very appropriate. It is clearly marked between the huts in Landmannalaugar, Hrafntinnusker (Obsidian Skerry), on lake Alftavatn (The Lake of the Whooper Swans) and on river Sydri-Emstrua in Fremri-Botnar. The trail “Laugavegurinn” is one of the most popular and most travelled hiking trails in Icelandic wilderness. It is equally popular with domestic and foreign hikers. This is not without a reason as the trail offers a great variety of landscape. Mountains in almost every colour of the rainbow, great glaciers, roaring hot springs, big rivers and lakes. Generally the hike lasts four days and the starting point is Landmannalaugar (altitude approx. 600 meters) Overnighting is in huts but you have to supply your own sleeping bag. Those with confirmed reservations have a higher priority so it is important to look in advance if you want to have a certain place to stay.

Fimmvorduhals From Skogar To Thorsmork hiking trail22 km

Fimmvorduhals From Skogar To Thorsmork

137 km from Reykjavík

Amazing trekking to enjoy some of Iceland's most spectacular scenery. Not exactly done in the best weather conditions, incessant rain and ice slowed us down a lot, especially while we were crossing the Magni. If done in good weather conditions it does not present any particular difficulties to report. I recommend monitoring the weather carefully and constantly before departure to avoid unpleasant situations.

Iceland Djupa Skaftafell hiking trail93 km

Iceland Djupa Skaftafell

211 km from Reykjavík

A variation to the old Laki-Skaftafell route. Easy to get to the starting point - take the bus, for example Stræto, ask the driver to let you off by Djupa. Instead of walking down to Nupstadaskogar, one can skip that part and just continue east to the Skeidararjokull glacier and make this a 5 - 6 day tour. Meaning that one does not need to carry so much food. Crampons and all necessary cravasse - rescue-stuff is a must for crossing the glacier as well as to let the good people at safetravel.is know about your plans. As the hike starts east of Djupa river, there are no "serious" rivers to cross but still, it is better to have river crossing shoes. And - there is no need to carry water with you - except through the mountains between Skeidararjokull and Skaftafell. But something decent to wear in the hot (all natural) pool is needed.

Thorsmork Fimmvorduhals hiking trail18 km

Thorsmork Fimmvorduhals

129 km from Reykjavík

This is a bit difficult path that leads you on the top of the new lava spattern cones formed in the 2010 eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull. In a few passage you have to be carefull because could be slippery and dizzyness, for three times you have to use a chain. The view is amazing!

Laugar Hattver Strutur hiking trail31 km

Laugar Hattver Strutur

143 km from Reykjavík

When I was asked to guide a small group of people from Landmannalaugar to the cabin at Strútur via Hattver my first reaction was to decline - I had never hiked this route myself and the weather forecast was pretty bad. Eventually I agreed to use someone else's GPS data to do it - otherwise the trip would have been cancelled. The weather lived up to the forecast's promise - I would love to do this stretch again and actually see what I'm doing! What I might actually want to do is a slightly different route - straight across the glacier instead of skirting it the way we did.

Thrihyrningur hiking trail5.2 km

Thrihyrningur

102 km from Reykjavík

Road to the trail by car goes through the private land. Ask permission if you find anyone (to be polite), it should be ok. We left our car to the first closed fence and continued. Small mountain river before the trail, find narrower place to cross it or don’t. Our weather condition was far from perfect, high wind, thick fog, no rain. Trail starts easy, over the field, follow the sticks (don’t mess with sheeps). Lots of open rocks and land, be careful. We didn’t see much because of the fog. Due to extreme wind and fog conditikns we considered its not safe to follow furture from the first tip. Next time. We had group of 3- myself with 20yrs old son and 15yrs old daugter. No special gear. Everything was very nice. Nice and easy trail for beginners. If you are lucky with the weather, you won’t ever forget that. Have fun.

Eyjafjallajokull Tranverse Via Skerjaleid hiking trail17 km

Eyjafjallajokull Tranverse Via Skerjaleid

119 km from Reykjavík

A steep start, that then evens out. We geared up with belts and lines at 1300 meter altitude, and went to Godasteinn. We skipped Hamundur, the highest peak, this time. The way down is pretty secure and when we got to the farm at the base, we stayed of the path, as the farmer asked us to. There were no crevasses on the way, and the hike took around 11 hours. A very sunny day, and a beautiful day. And a loooong day.

Thrihyrningur Hiking Trail hiking trail14 km

Thrihyrningur Hiking Trail

101 km from Reykjavík

There would be parking at the end of the road, but the road is private, and you would have to come from behind from the Froad if you wanted. We leave the car before the start of the private road, and continue on foot for a few km to the start of the path where there is also an explanatory sign of the mountain and the trail. You have to make a small ford so take into account if you suffer from cold water on your feet. Climb marked by wooden posts, and on the peaks there are no posts but quite visible marked paths, for the return we took an off-path which is however very stable and safe so as not to have to go up and down the peaks again on the way back, which reconnects us to the path of climb. Back at the car park there was a bit of confusion because I looked to see if there was a path so as not to have to cross the ford again but in the end we did it again, reconnecting to the private road and returning to the car.

Laugavegur Day 3 Of 3 Emstrur To Thorsmork Langidalur

132 km from Reykjavík

N.b. I left the gps running: trail ends after 16km Final day, and the nights camping was better. I struggle to get going and we get a massive downpour at 7am just as we put the tents away. We start hiking around 9am, the mood is great and the weather improves. We make good progress but as we get to lunch wind and a heavy shower makes it hard work. The group deals with the penultilate climb and last river crossing very well. As we cross through Þòrsmörk the sun finally appears and we have a beautiful moment on the hill before dropping down to Langidalur in full sunshine. One girl didn't start the last day, but everyone else finished. Mathieu was great as was Ian, and we even get a medal for our troubles :)

149 km from Reykjavík

Day 7: from the camp at Strutslaug to the summit of Torfajokull and back. No track was recorded, but a few waypoints are shown. The first part of the route is a trail, starting at a shield. The route then goes over a short narrow ridge, and after that there are some cairns which are important on the way back for finding the right place for the descent. Higher up, there are snow fields (some may have water below them) and steep scree. The view from the summit is great. Day 8: from Strutslaug to the hut at Alftavotn (photo). There are GPS tracks for this on Wikiloc. In the middle, partially on trails or 4WD tracks. No GPS track was recorded, we used another Wikiloc track. Day 9am: from Alftavotn to the F208 at Eldgja area. A short easy hike. Where you meet the F208, there is a ford for cars and a bridge for hikers (photo).

Easy stroll to view the beautiful Sigöldugljúfur canyon from the car park on F208.

Asolfsskali

114 km from Reykjavík

Nice ascent following the ridge line then a few zig zags up a few lower summits to avoid the snow line. Climbed in mid-apr so the snow had receded but it still restricted our hope of getting further up the slope. It was possible to avoid trails but there was an obvious one that ran up the slope. Stunning views, satisfying climb.
