A super jeep ride starting from your hotel and to the remote highlands of Fjallabak, cruising amazing mountain roads and crossing rivers to the Strútur cabin from which we will hike to the secluded hot springs of Strútslaug. Trip difficulty 2 out of 5 possible. Rated: Easy It’s oh so quiet - shh shh – it’s oh so still. Imagine a place where you hear nothing except the arctic wind and highland creeks pearling down the moss-covered hills. This is where we are taking you today but first we have to get there.
Our expert guide and his super jeep will take care of that. We will drive past the infamous volcano Eyjafjallajökull and through the idyllic countryside of Fljótshlíð up onto the famous South Fjallabak mountain road. Making our way over tough tracks into the remote wilderness behind Mýrdalsjökull glacier. We will discover unbelievable contrasts of white glaciers, mossy green hills and the pitch black lava sands of Mælifellssandur. There, far away from all tourist trails we leave the jeep behind and take a hike deeper into the interior to a hidden natural hot stream. Having reached the silent highland we relax in the geothermal water with views over serene lakes and rhyolite mountains. We hike back to the car and travel through the colorful highlands passing Krakatindur and Hekla volcano, the entrance to hell, back to Reykjavík.
