This route takes you through one of the most colorful and beautiful areas of the
country. During dry spells it is passable by most cars, but 4wd vehicles are preferable.
It is possible to enter this route in two places from the west. The proper route starts to
the west of Mt. Hekla, where the signpost reads:
Domadalur and the other track starts by
the hydro electric power station at Sigalda, where the signpost reads: Landmannalaugar 26
km.
If the proper route is selected, the track
lies just north of the most infamous of Icelandic volcanoes, Hekla. It continues to one of
the pearls of the central highlands, Landmannalaugar, and then further east to the
eruptive fissure Eldgja. Those who travel this route are left with impressions to last a
lifetime.
Before setting off
on the Highland routes, check the road conditions and remember that
there are unbridged rivers to be forded!
