Þórsmörk Adventure w. Golden Circle – 3 days
“Þórsmörk has a spot in each Icelanders heart. There’s just nothing like it…”
Þórsmörk is an incredibly beautiful nature reserve, situated in the heart of South Iceland nestled among the glaciers Eyjafjallajökull, Mýrdalsjökull and Tindfjallajökull.
On our hike we take in the astonishing view over Þórsmörk, Mýrdalsjökull glacier and the highlands. We will also hike up to Gígjökull glacier where we observe the effects of the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption and breath in the purifying glacial air.
Þórsmörk is a spectacular place to visit, it has it’s own kind of feel to it. It is Icelandic nature to the core.
