Journey Through South Iceland

Leaving Reykjavik, we follow the scenic Viking Trail past the charming towns of Selfoss and Hvolsvöllur. As we travel further south, the flat farmlands transform into dramatic mountains, glaciers, and volcanoes. On a clear day, the distant Westman Islands can be seen glistening on the horizon.

Waterfalls of the South Coast

Our first stop is Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, famous for its path that allows visitors to walk behind its cascading curtain. Nearby, we visit the hidden gem Gljúfrabúi, tucked away in the cliffs. Continuing east, we arrive at the powerful Skógafoss Waterfall, plunging 60 meters into the river below—a true highlight of the South Coast.

Landmannalaugar and the Valley of Tears are two of Iceland’s most remarkable natural treasures, located in the heart of the Highlands. This unique area offers colorful rhyolite mountains, steaming hot springs, vast lava fields, and stunning hiking trails, making it one of the most unforgettable destinations in the Fjallabak Nature Reserve.

The Laugahraun lava field, created during a volcanic eruption in 1477, is a highlight of Landmannalaugar. Here you’ll find striking black obsidian, also known as Dragon Glass from Game of Thrones, gleaming across the landscape. The rhyolite mountains, rich in minerals such as quartz, sulphur, and iron, glow with vivid colors. The famous Brennisteinsalda (Sulphur Wave) peak beautifully showcases these natural hues.

Visitors usually spend around three hours in Landmannalaugar. Our guided two-hour hike leads you through the obsidian fields to Brennisteinsalda, but you may also explore other trails independently. If relaxation is more your style, bring a swimsuit and towel to enjoy the geothermal pool—a perfect way to unwind after your adventure.

On the way, you’ll also discover Hjálparfoss, a beautiful double waterfall surrounded by dramatic basalt formations. Historically, this oasis provided much-needed grazing for horses traveling the harsh Sprengisandur route, which is why it earned the name “Help’s Fall.”

Finally, the journey reaches Sigöldugljúfur – the Valley of Tears. This hidden gorge is filled with cascading waterfalls, creating misty veils that lend the canyon an enchanting, almost melancholic atmosphere.

Whether you are a hiker, photographer, or nature lover, Landmannalaugar and the Valley of Tears promise breathtaking scenery, geological wonders, and memories to last a lifetime.
