This destination is named after Thor, the Viking God of Thunder. On our way
towards Þórsmörk we will cross raging rivers, gushing down from the glaciers.
There we will see the aftermath of the massive fast flowing flood, caused by
the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull in April 2010.
Then we will proceed to the scenic canyon of Stakkholtsgjá and its a amazing
waterfall where we will go for a hike, if time and mood allows. Þórsmörk is
one of the most popular hiking area in the country and standing on top of its
hills and mountains is breathtaking. Visitors cannot fail to be in awe of the
raw power of nature and the beauty. On the way back from Þórsmörk we make a
stop at the stunning Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss and look at a wreckage of a
lost airplane from the 50s.
Other stops on this tour:
✓ Seljalandsfoss - This waterfall of the river Seljalandsá drops 60 meters over the cliffs of the former coastline. It is possible to walk behind the waterfall. 500 meters to the North West there is a another beautiful waterfall.
✓ Gljúfrabúi - Gljúfrabúi (Canyon Dweller) is 40 meters high waterfall, partially hidden behind a large cliff, which gives it a mystical aura. It can be seen in all it’s splendor by wading the river into a narrow opening in the cliff or by climbing a steep path up the cliff. Both acts can be hazardous so please exercise extreme caution.
