Laugavegur

The Laugavegur route is Iceland's most famous trek - an ultimate experience on any nature lover's bucket list. This 55-kilometer path connects Landmannalaugar with Thórsmörk. There are dark volcanic deserts, boiling geothermal springs, glacial rivers, and deep valleys with plunging ravines can be found. A fantastic adventure that will leave no one unaffected.

Laugavegur flows from the Landmannalaugar hot springs region to the órsmörk glacier valley. It is notable for the many landscapes that it passes through. Typically, the trek is completed in four days, north to south, with pauses at the mountain huts at Hrafntinnusker, lftavatn, and Emstrur. During the trek, at least three rivers must be crossed. The walk can be combined with a hike along the Fimmvöruháls trail from órsmörk to Skógar. The trail offers a variety of different landscapes with beautiful views and experiences along the way.

Accommodation along the path is available in primitive mountain huts and camping areas, as well as private accommodation in the Laugavegur Expedition Trucks at the lftavatn Trail Post, which also serves as a small restaurant. The majority of hikers begin at Landmannalaugar and end in órsmörk Nature Reserve. It is also feasible to extend the walk by include the hikes in órsmörk and across the Fimmvöruháls Trail all the way to Skógar, south of the Eyjafjallajökull Volcano and Glacier.
