Itinerary description
The walking trail Fimmvörðuháls, which starts at Skogarfoss and ends at Básar. This hike was surprisingly easy, with sunny weather almost all day. However, it is a long hike, and in the area between the glaciers, the weather can change fast. Highly recommended to be well prepared when going this hike, and to check the weather forecast.
