Great view over the colorful mountains of Landmannalaugar. The climb over the northeast ridge is difficult, the descent on the west side followed by a clockwise arc back to Landmannalaugar is recommended. This tour can be good if you do not want to stay overnight. The Landmannalaugar region is almost overcrowded in summer.

According to Jules Verne, Iceland is the gateway to the hidden world. Maybe here who knows? 🤔

Landmannalaugar Hot Springs

Highlight • Natural Monument

In any case, you should take a swimming trunks when you come to Landmannalaugar. A little tip: rather for the later evening a bath plan. During the day it is overcrowded. You can pass the time with a highly recommended excursion to the gorge Graenagil. Beautiful. Then a bath in the hot spring is all the more beautiful. And in the late summer a special treat, as the sun hardly sets. Hach yes I have to go. To Iceland ... 😅
