アイスランド山脈のおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

車は有料駐車場（アイスランドで見かけるすべての駐車場と同様）に停め、3つの滝を含む小道を登っていきます。最後の滝、Svartifossは、空中に吊るされた四角い溶岩の柱で「形成」されているという特徴があります。ここから反対側へ歩き続けることもできますが、今回は帰路を選びました。したがって、ビジターセンターまで戻り、バーで休憩した後、Skaftafelljökull氷河に向かいます。

It's much quieter here by the lake than near the parking lots. It's also a lovely spot for a break with a beautiful view.

🚶‍♂️ Dead Man Walking in Þingvellir Imagine: In the past, you didn't come here to hike, but because the Alþingi had decided that your final adventure awaited you – beheading, drowning, or hanging. A natural idyll with a twist. While today tourists stroll along the wooden walkways with selfie sticks, back then, condemned prisoners walked their final journey to Drekkingarhylur. "Wellness in a glacial stream" just sounded a little less relaxing back then. Who needs Game of Thrones when reality here in the 17th century was much more brutal?

Extremely good hike even for runners with less endurance

Amazing view and pictures in my head of what it looked like during active times

Amazing view with a cool feeling because of the extinct volcano

On July 25, 1969, the DC-3 took off from Keflavík Airport bound for the runway at Sauðanes Farm, near Þórshöfn in northeast Iceland. While braking, the aircraft skidded to the right, colliding with a pile of lumber and suffering damage to the landing gear and wing. The four crew members were uninjured. Due to the high cost of repairs, it was decided to leave it in a field near the runway. For decades, the wreck served as a shelter for horses and sheep. In 2023, it was moved to the wreck of Sólheimasandur.

Very nice view of the surrounding area. It's worth the hike. Check it out!
