From Skógar to Þórsmörk - Day Tour from Reykjavík
Voted by National Geographic as one of the world´s best hikes, the Fimmvörðuháls pass from Skógar to Þórsmörk is one of Iceland´s most popular hiking routes. The trail takes us up from Skógar, along Skógá River and its many waterfalls and up between the two glaciers, Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull. There we will discover the recently formed lava and some of the world´s newest new craters, Magni and Móði.
The fresh lava is still steaming under the surface and the heat of the lava can still be felt. Heading down from the craters to the magnificent Þórsmörk glacier valley we continue to enjoy more geological features as well as some amazing views over the highlands and the surrounding glaciers. In Þórsmörk, we enjoy the fairytale landscape that surrounds the valley before we head back to Reykjavík or Skógar on the bus.
Once in a lifetime experience for all hikers and nature enthusiasts!
