Þórsmörk

(Thor’s Valley),

Nestled between the glaciers Eyjafjallajökull, Mýrdalsjökull, and Tindfjallajökull is Þórsmörk (Thor’s Valley), a nature reserve in the southern Icelandic highlands. Þórsmörk is one of Iceland’s most popular hiking destinations.

An amazing landscape of deep valleys criss-crossed by numerous fast flowing rivers amazing hiking trails both short and long some having glaciers on 3 sides. It really is a stunning landscape.

On the way our bus has to cross several unbridged rivers quite the adventure for those willing to undertake it. You could even try the extended hike, the Laugavegur trail or perhaps a separate challenging hike over the Fimmvörðuháls mountain pass to Skogar on the South Coast.

Þórsmörk is actually a valley and a mountain range between the Krossá, Þröngá, and Markarfljót rivers. Locals, however, often use the name “Þórsmörk” when referring to a much larger region that is composed of the area between Þórsmörk itself, and the Eyjafjallajökull glacier volcano which you may recall caused air traffic chaos in 2010 when it erupted.

A world of adventure awaits, and Thule Travel would like to get you there!
