    After leaving the car in the parking lot, it is a very easy 50 min straight walk to reach the plane wreck. By the way, most of the parking lots in Iceland are not free anymore. Don't forget to log in and pay. To be hones...

    Third day of the Laugavegur trek. Big river to cross, go a bit on the left side, easier to cross through a small island. Amazing landscape with black ground and beautiful mountains!
