About Botnar
The Iceland Touring Association huts Botnar on river South Emstrua accommodate 40 people. They are equipped with gas stoves, utensils and running cold water. One of the huts is reserved for hikers on the trail between Thorsmork and Landmannalaugar.
During summer, the warden of the huts lives in a separate house. Showers and WCs are in the fourth house and fee is charged for the use of the showers. The huts are about half-way on the trail Just south of the huts is a pedestrian bridge across the aforementioned river.
A short and rewarding walk takes you to the canyons of river Markarfljot and a mountain track allows 4wd-vehicles access to the huts.
