Eyjafjallajökull

The Laugavegur Trail is probably Iceland's most famous hiking trail that showcases some of Iceland's most stunning natural landscapes. The trail stretches approximately 55 kilometers (34mi) from Landmannalaugar to Þórsmörk. Often the trail is combined with the Fimmvörðuháls, which adds another 25 kilometers to Skógar on the ocean in the south. The terrain is extremely varied. You pass through black lava fields, along geothermal areas with steamy vents and boiling hot springs, over colorful mountains, by white glaciers, through lush green valleys and by some of Iceland's biggest waterfalls. This guide includes the route and campsites as seen in my Youtube film and is suitable for beginner and experienced backpackers. It is suitable for both camping, as well as overnighting in the refuges along the way. What this guide includes: - A flexible itinerary for different lengths and difficulty levels - Distances, best overnight (camping) options, and other useful waypoints - Custom Google Maps with all the important locations, such as campsites, grocery stores, airports, trails, public transport stops, and viewpoints - GPX-tracks of all the routes - Practical information on how to get there, how to get around, when to go, trail conditions, weather, geography, and more. - Detailed descriptions of the trekking route, including landmarks, terrain, and elevation changes.

Not everyone has 2 full weeks available to do the entire ring around Iceland, nor does everyone want to camp out in an RV every night or drive a large portion of each day, so this guide is for all you adventure seekers that still want to make Reykjavik your home for 5-7 days, as you see all Iceland has to offer (just within a few hours of the capital). Tons of commentary, pictures, & links alongside the actual locations, so you can know exactly what to order at each restaurant, how much everything cost, and the tips for each excursion! This is also a perfect guide for quicker trips, like long weekends away, bachelor/bachelorette parties, couple getaways, etc. as there are plenty of excursions, restaurants, and ideas for having a perfect time in the area. This guide will have tons to do whether you're visiting in summer (AKA puffin/whale watching season!) or winter (beautiful Northern Lights). No matter your timing, take a look at some of the best things to do & eat in one of the most beautiful countries in the world!
