Landmannalaugar – Half Day

Wyjazd: Our adventure begins at Centrum Wyżyny Hrauneyjar, where our expert guides will lead the way. From the parking lot, we head east on Sigölduvegur Gamli, skirting the edge of Sölvahraun, a vast lava field nestled between Sauðafell and Valafell.

Volcanic Giants 🌋 & Mythical Landscapes: As we drive past Skjólkvíarhraun (formed in 1970), the mighty Wulkan Hekla looms to our south. One of Iceland’s most active and infamous volcanoes, Hekla has erupted over 20 times since 1210. During the Middle Ages, it was even dubbed the “Gateway to Hell” by Icelandic Norse settlers—a legend that spread across Europe.

Reykjadalir & Hrafntinnusker: Continuing along Svalaskarð, we traverse Helliskvísl i dramatyczne Pokahryggir przed dotarciem Reykjadalir, where geothermal steam rises from the earth, blending with black obsidian rock, rich brown soil, and lush green moss. This surreal landscape is a true geological wonder.

Nasz first official stop is Hrafntinnusker, a striking rhyolite mountain known for its hot springs and, in certain years, glacier caves. This remote landmark is also a key stop along the famous Laugavegur hiking trail. However, be aware that depending on snowfall and seasonal conditions, access to Hrafntinnusker may be limited.

Rúdolf Waterfall & Beyond: Departing from Hrafntinnusker, we descend toward Dalamót, passing the Hrafntinnuhraun lava field before stopping at Rúdolf, a hidden highland waterfall. As we continue past Laufafell toward Rangárbotnar, we approach Langvíuhraun, then head north once again toward Mosfell, climbing Breiðaskarð with Innri Vatnafjöll towering to the left.

Obiad z widokiem: Mniej więcej w tym momencie robimy sobie przerwę na a lunch pośród górskiej dziczy, otoczony nierównymi polami lawy, takimi jak Nýjahraun, na zachód od Krakatindur.

Final Stretch: The last leg of the journey takes us past the distinctive formations of Hestalda and Rauðaskál before we descend from the highlands to lower terrain. We follow sandy trails northward, passing Áfangagil along Dyngjuleið, finally making our way back to Centrum Wyżyny Hrauneyjar.
