About Þórsmörk
Þórsmörk brings together valleys, slopes and vegetated areas between glacier systems of South Iceland. The rugged terrain allows walks with views of rivers, mountains and glacier tongues, depending on the route and the day's visibility.
Trails vary in length and difficulty. Choosing a short hike from an arrival point is different from undertaking multi-day crossings that go through the region. The landscape can be visited without turning the entire trip into a foot expedition.
Interior access requires appropriate transport and prior organization. Seasonal services usually operate from June to September, depending on road conditions; confirm operations before booking. For a day trip, prefer specialized transport and choose the walking route before leaving Hvolsvöllur.
