4 day kayaking and hiking trip on and around Langisjór Lake.
Trip difficulty 3+ out of 5 possible
Starting
from Reykjavik City in specially modified jeeps we drive up to the last
untouched wilderness in Europe, the Icelandic Highlands. This huge
deserted expanse is in every way conceivable magnificent, providing
views and vistast that will stay with you for years to come. We camp
out at the southwestern end of the beautiful Langisjór Highland lake.
The following two days we paddle along this amazing lake towards the
Vatnajökull glacier, the biggest in Europe. Framed in by mountains and
littered with islands this highland lake is surely one of the top kayak
spots in Europe. After our days of paddling we will camp out on the
shores of lake and enjoy the peacefulness of the wilderness. On the
fourth day we hike the Sveinstindur Mountain and gain a breathtaking
view of the Vatnajökull glacier and the Fjallabak area with its rugged
mountains and haunting horizon, before driving back to Reykjavik where
we will arrive late evening.
