Fimmvörðuháls - red track. Went up from Skogar and down to Þórsmörk. Beautiful waterfalls on the way up. Amazing mountains in Þórsmörk. A trip very much worth it.

The camping at Landmannalaugar is almost literally in the parking lot – quite ugly and crowded. Besides, extremely full of small annoying flies. The hot spring is just a few minutes walk away from the hut. If you want...
There are some exposed areas with chains that might be tricky for people with vertigo, especially when carrying jumbo backpacks or in heavy rain. The chains in some parts were barely holding and didn’t serve their duty! ...
