Embark on an epic adventure along the Fimmvörðuháls trail, a scenic journey through Iceland's breathtaking landscapes. Start at the impressive Skógafoss waterfall and trek past multiple waterfalls, two glaciers, and one volcano. Marvel at the lush greenery, rocky terrain, and volcanic soil as you make your way between the glaciers Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull. The highlight of the hike is reaching Thórsmörk, where lime green moss covers the black soil and rocks, creating a stunning contrast. With challenging terrain and diverse scenery, the Fimmvörðuháls hike promises an unforgettable outdoor experience. The full hike is about 25km with over 1.200m elevation.
