Landmannalaugar

Landmannalaugar is the most popular destination for travellers within the central highlands of Iceland. The area is within the Fjallabak Nature Reserve, where camping is available or you can purchase hut accommodation. Numerous hiking trails start from the hut area, where most should be able to find a trail suitable for their level. This is also the starting point of the Laugavegur trail, which is probably the country's most famous hiking path.

Access to Landmannalaugar is via road F208 (Fjallabaksleið Nyrðri), but the last 2.5 km are driven on F224 (Landmannalaugavegur). The entire route is passable for four-wheel-drive vehicles, but two rivers need to be crossed right before arriving at Landmannalaugar. It's possible to park at P1 without crossing the rivers, recommended for smaller SUVs and/or inexperienced drivers, then cross over a pedestrian bridge.
