Itinerary description

Day 7: from the camp at Strutslaug to the summit of Torfajokull and back. No track was recorded, but a few waypoints are shown. The first part of the route is a trail, starting at a shield. The route then goes over a short narrow ridge, and after that there are some cairns which are important on the way back for finding the right place for the descent. Higher up, there are snow fields (some may have water below them) and steep scree. The view from the summit is great.

Day 8: from Strutslaug to the hut at Alftavotn (photo). There are GPS tracks for this on Wikiloc. In the middle, partially on trails or 4WD tracks. No GPS track was recorded, we used another Wikiloc track.

Day 9am: from Alftavotn to the F208 at Eldgja area. A short easy hike. Where you meet the F208, there is a ford for cars and a bridge for hikers (photo).
