아이슬란드 산맥 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

🚶‍♂️ 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!

Hundafoss is the easiest to reach of the many waterfalls leading up to the plateau overlooking the glacier. It's not as famous or spectacular as Svartifoss, but it's also a nice sight.

From the plateau above Svartifoss to the bridge directly at the waterfall, there is a steep path down, but you always have the worthwhile destination in sight.
