Högnhöfði is a majestic mountain in the Golden circle route. Reaching up 1002 m, it is quite the challenge. The name implies the head of a male cat, and you can see the ears of the cat when looking in the west direction, standing on the peak of Högnhöfði. The terrain at Högnhöfði is unique, first hiking through a elevated slope and then lean prairie to the highest peak in the northeast. We might just hike the small mountain Strokkur to get a better view over Brúarárskörð. Brúarárskörð is a great canyon between Högnhöfði and Rauðafell. The canyon is about 3-4 km long and the vertical drop from the start to the end is about 200 m (660ft) which puts it among the deepest canyons on Iceland. The river Búará, which originates in the canyon, cascades down the steep rocky surface
You can expect at least 6 hours hiking through different terrain and then we explore the beautiful Brúarárskörð on the way up. Bring water(2L), as we don´t pass any rivers, also snacks and lunch.
Bring proper hiking clothing, gloves and a hat just to make sure you don´t get cold. A camera, cause you will be amazed by the view we get.

This is a long day trip or about 14-16 hours total. There are 195 km between Reykjavík and Landmannalaugar, or about 3 hours by car. We walk in and up Halldórsgil and then walk down to Jökulgil.
In this valley is a hot spring where you can dip in and just enjoy the unspoiled nature landscape right in front of you. Reykjadalur, which means “Smokey valley”, is a spectacular place next to the village of Hveragerði.

The 25 km Fimmvörðuháls Trek is without a doubt one of the most popular amongst both locals and travelers alike and has been for centuries. Hike between glaciers, volcanoes and stunning nature in the Icelandic highlands.
This tour includes a lot of walking on a glacier and associated safety equipment is required. It is important to keep in mind that Snæfellsjökull is a fairly comfortable mountain to travel but has its dangers in poor visibility, such as cracks and falls from the top.
A bus leaves Reykjavík at 8. We drive into Kerlingarfjöll and go for a demanding hike and easier hike. After the hike we go to a hot pool in Kerlingarfjöll. It’s also ideal to have a look at the restaurant and get a waffle and so on.
