Laugavegur trail & Fimmvörðuháls pass
The classical route
Laugavegur trail is one of Iceland's best known hiking routes and often member of top-ten-hikes-in-the-world. It´s very unique and offers diversity and new experiences in the landscape every day. The bright colors of the mountains in Landmannalaugar and the geothermal activity is a wonderful start of our 5 day trek. On the way we experience the power of the nature through the volcanic black sands, bubbling thermal pools, the contrasts in the bright green moss and the arctic fauna with a view over the glaciers. On our last day we will visit the lava field a long with Magni and Móði, two new craters formed in the eruption in 2010. On the pass we will have the famous Eyjafjallajökull on one hand and Mýrdalsjökull on the other. While descending to our final destination, Skógafoss we will enjoy the view and power of no more than 22 waterfalls.
This is a trip of a lifetime!
