• Brú base – Landmannalaugar – Álftavatn

  We start our day early from Brú base, head straight to Landmannalaugar, and set out on our hike as soon as we get there. Amid the geothermal landscape, we set our sights on Álftavatn. On the way, we'll pass Hrafntinnusker, the obsidian desert from which the place takes its name. From there, we head on towards our overnight stay, Álftavatn Lake, passing Mt. Reykjaföll and the picturesque Jökultungur (glacier tongues) area. 

  This is a long and demanding day, full of exciting highland adventures.

• Álftavatn – Emstur

  We leave the hut after a decent breakfast and a worthy night’s rest. We continue on the Laugavegur trail heading towards Emstur. This part of the trail is easier than the day before, and it'll take us through black-sand deserts with fantastic, contrasting mountains such as Stórasúla and Hattfell. We then reach the hut in Emstrur (Botnar), where the glaciers Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull lie stretched out before us. 
  After dinner, there is an optional evening hike to the magnificent 200-meter-deep canyon, Markarfljótsgljúfur. That's an evening hike that you don´t want to miss!

• Emstrur – Þórsmörk – Seljalandsfoss / Brúbase

  We leave Emstur and continue on our way to Þórsmörk, walking alongside Mýrdalsjökull glacier. As we descend to Almenningar, we'll see the landscape change as trees start to appear. The Laugavegur trail is now behind us as we reach Þórsmörk. Now we can enjoy the beautiful oasis, hiding behind the Eyjafjallajökull glacier.
  From Þórsmörk, we head towards Gljúfrabúi base, but we still have one more stop: the magnificent Seljalandsfoss waterfall!
  We expect to be back at Brú base in the afternoon.
