Thorsmork
Mountain Reserve
Husadalur
Thorsmork is one of the
brightest pearls on the string of beautiful areas
of the country, surrounded by rugged and majestic
mountains, glaciers and glacial rivers, decorated with small birch woods
and silver lined with humming streams. It is rather
difficult to describe the charm of this area. It has been tried in the
already existing literature with various results. The Icelanders
appreciate Thorsmork (The Forrest of Thor, the thunder god)
very much and visit it frequently the whole year round. Quite a few
streams and rivers have to be forded to get there
and no-one should attempt that without the company of experienced people.
Husadalur: Thorsmork Mountain Reserve offer a great variety of services
like home made food for our guests,
a canteen, which can
serve up to 120 persons at a time. Service
house is situated next to the
canteen.
House is divided in two, one side has kitchen
facilities for individuals and small groups with all the necessary
equipment and table wear for 25-30 persons.
Thor´s pool and the sauna Be sure
to bring your bathing clothes because nothing beats coming back from a
long walk and be able to slide into a hot pool and soak in the mineral
rich water that is pumped up from a drill hole just up the valley.
