Our tour begins with a scenic drive over the mountain Hellisheiði as we make our way towards Selfoss. We’ll visit Seljalandsfoss Waterfall and take a walk into the rugged gorge of Stakkholtsgjá. The main attraction here is Þórsmörk (Thor’s Woodland), a nature reserve shielded on three sides by glaciers and mountains. The area has a multitude of small gullies and valleys, clad with low birch-trees that create seemingly endless possibilities for the nature lover.
The glacial melt-off forms rivers that have to be crossed on the way to Þórsmörk and some days the crossing is quite challenging or even impossible. In a matter of hours, an innocent stream can become a thunderous river.
Our skilled drivers are very experienced in these driving conditions and will safely traverse the rivers. This trip is truly unforgettable for the nature lover at the heart with lots of hiking. During the hardest winter months, it might not be possible to access Þórsmörk. In this case, we’ll visit Vík village and the magnificent Skógarfoss waterfall.
