    Tips

    April 22, 2023

    This green ridge is worth visiting, but it is not an easy hike to get there. There are multiple ways to get there and the best is from Fjallabaksleið nyrðri. It is also possible to hike from Landmannalaugar, but take into account that there will be river crossings and very steep slopes to climb up and down on, and that is quite far. So only go in good weather conditions when the rivers can be crossed, bring a GPS.
