Although this is one of the most popular hikes for its beauty and sweeping landscapes it is also considered one of the more dangerous hikes in Iceland…
We took the popular route starting at Skógafoss, finishing in Þórsmörk however this trail can be done in either direction.
It can be a bit tricky planning and getting to the trail due to parking and bus routes back to your vehicle. If you're starting at Skógafoss (highly recommend!), know that not all buses stop there. The only parking here is at the campsite which you must pay for daily however, this is still a more affordable option than taking a taxi from the more popular bus stop destination in Hvolsvöllur.
You can choose to do this as a day hike and either catch the bus back out or stay in Þórsmörk for a night. Another option is to make it a two day hike but staying in one of the two huts along the trail ( Baldvinsskáli or Fimmvörðuskáli ), then either catch the bus out or stay another day in Þórsmörk.
For convenience and time, this is the route I chose:
-We parked at the Lava Center in Hvolsvöllur. (This is a free option!)
-We booked a Taxi driver in advance to take us to Skógafoss. (Expensive but easiest option)
-We hiked in staying at the Baldvinskali hut part of the way. (Book far in advance!)
-The next day we hiked to Þórsmörk and stayed at the Volcano Huts. (Book your stay in advance!)
-Our final day we took the Trex bus to the N1 gas station in Hvolsvöllur and walked to the Lava Center.

We did this trail the 24th and 25th of June, 2024 and the weather was pretty fair, slightly unpredictable and challenging between the glaciers which should be expected. Always make sure to check the weather as it can vary each year and prepare for the worst!
