The five routes presented have established themselves as classics of Iceland. The Laugavegur (53 km), Iceland's most famous trek, leads from the highland oasis of Landmannalaugar through colorful rhyolite mountains and barren sand and lava deserts in four daily stages to Þórsmörk. Deep gorges, roaring waterfalls, and glistening ice tongues characterize the challenging mountain hike over Fimmvörðuháls (25 km, 1 to 2 days). The Kjalvegur (48 km, 3 to 4 days), an easy tour for beginners, winds its way at the foot of the Langjökull ice cap through the western highlands. Huge table mountains and shield volcanoes accompany hikers on the Öskjuvegur (97 km), which opens up the vast eastern Icelandic lava wilderness of Ódáðahraun. Crossing the Jökulsárgljúfur National Park (33 km, 2 days) highlights the proximity to a gigantic gorge with spectacular waterfalls. All routes are unique and offer unforgettable experiences in Iceland's breathtaking nature.
