The route between Landmannalaugar and Þórsmörk, known as the “laugavegurinn” , The Hot Spring Route, is one of the most popular treks in Iceland. The trail offers a wide variety of landscape. Mountains in almost every colour of the rainbow, great glaciers, roaring hot springs, big rivers and lakes. The total hiking distance is close to 79 km.
Here is the plan...
Day 1: Landmannalaugar - Hrafntinnusker
Distance: 12 km
Estimated walking time: 4-5 hours
Day 2: Hrafntinnusker - Álftavatn
Distance: 12 km
Estimated walking time: 4-5 hours
Day 3: Álftavatn - Emstrur (Botnar)
Distance: 15 km
Estimated walking time: 6-7 hrs
Day 4: Emstrur (Botnar) - Þórsmörk
Distance: 15 km
Estimated walking time: 6-7 hrs
Day 5: Þórsmörk - Skogar
Distance: 26 km
Estimated walking time: 10 hours
If the weather is good, we will divide the leg by staying overnight in the Fimmvorduhals Pass. This will allow us to make a detour to the top of South Iceland's highest mountain, Eyjafjallajökull. The next day we will continue down to Skogar to catch the bus back to Reykjavik.
