This day walk connects to Botnar Thorsmork. Thorsmork is a busy valley where a bus runs every day. We could stop our trek if the weather deteriorated.

Passage with strings is one to one ... but is quite doable if you do not have vertigo!

I forgot to tell you about the Landmannalaugar trek in general ... This is THE trek to Iceland, we note also that it is much busier in 2012 than in 2009 ... But we find attendance correct trek and at no time are bothered by "tourists" too many. He is known to be the most beautiful trek in Iceland and among one of the most beautiful in the world ... Our experience of all treks in the world is limited ... I do not say that the title one of the most beautiful treks in the world is justified, but I found this wonderful trek ... What we liked is the diversity of landscapes. Indeed, every day brings a new vision of Iceland, every day offers completely different from what preceded colors and reliefs!

CThe second part of the path is composed of a long descent after which the lake and the campground is located . This is quite confusing because you see the lake from the beginning and that it seems not many come close ! Especially when it comes to face any flat last line and you have to cross a ford (the first trek) in the middle of it ! Skip fords , it's tiring , cold and it takes time! You have to sit , lay the bag , look for sandals. Remove shoes , store them in the bag , put the sandals. Replace the bag , take your courage in both hands, cross the ford ! Place the bag, take the shoes and towel , remove the sandals, dry feet, put socks and shoes and put away the towel and sandals . In general, at this stage , I am a cereal bar or some nuts and start again ! Walking , feet warm quickly and instantly forget the cold water of the river! The landscapes are preserved to the point that bridge reminds us of the intervention of mankind on nature.... Read the full story.

The road is snowy, fortunately Matthieu is a good climber and I trust him because I do not advise inexperienced and poorly equipped people!

It is with great joy and excitement that we take the bus from Reykjavik to Landmannalaugar. I admire the landscape and I try not to miss a beat of the show that nature offers me. The closer we get, the more I recognize this undulating treeless landscape that looks like a desert of sand dunes which would have added all the colors of the rainbow sky ocher volcanic land of green moss that grows there. To our delight, these colors are enhanced by the blue sky. We arrived around 12pm, plant our tent, lunch and decided to go for a little hike with mild to half-day bag.... Read the full story.
