Laugavegur Trail is one of the most popular hiking trails in Iceland, and National Geographic has listed it as one of the most beautiful trails in the world. The trail will take you through stunning landscapes. Imagine colorful rhyolite mountains, black obsidian lava, steaming hot springs, crystal-clear lakes, black sandy deserts, and a lush forest. Who could resist?
The Laugavegur Trail runs through the southern Icelandic Highlands, connecting Landmannalaugar’s geothermal area to the forested Þórsmörk valley.
Landmannalaugar is famed for its incredible rhyolite mountains and bubbling hot springs, some suitable for bathing. Þósmörk on the other hand is sheltered by mountains and glaciers, and famous for its birch forests. The trail goes by ‘Swan Lake’, Álftavatn, and passes through the black sand desert of Mælifellssandur and the plains of Emstrur. Along the way are numerous peaks, crater lakes, and volcanoes. The trail lies in the vicinity of two glaciers Mýrdalsjökull and Eyjafjallajökull.
