Overview
Laugavegur is a long-distance trail in southern Iceland. It runs from the Landmannalaugar geothermal springs to the Þórsmörk nature reserve. The wide, dramatic valley of Þórsmörk sits at the foot of Eyjafjallajökull, an active volcano.
Description
The trail leads through striking landscapes spanning gorges, glaciers and multicoloured rhyolite mountains. Simple huts dot the route at stops like Hrafntinnusker and Emstrur.
With black volcanic deserts and verdant valleys, steaming geothermal springs and glacial rivers, plummeting ravines and precipitous ridges, it's no wonder Iceland's Laugavegur Trail is such a legendary hiking trail.
