Itinerary description
The Þórsmörk Panorama Trail takes you up and over the Valahnúkur mountain (454 m) from where you get an impressive 360° view over the volcanic landscape of Þórsmörk and the Eyjafjallajökull Volcano & Glacier.
From the top of Valahnúkur you head down to the Langidalur Hut, where you can have a break and fill up your water bottle. Then head back through the Húsadalur Valley and the lush birch woods of Þórsmörk to the Volcano Huts, where you can have refreshments at the restaurant and catch the bus back to your destination.
The trail is marked and maps are sold at the Volcano Huts. The trail is of moderate difficulty although it is a bit steep in parts where you ascend to the top of Valahnúkur. You should allow 1,5 - 2 hours to complete the full circle.

Großartige Runde. Als ich den Weg ging, waren einige Abschnitte der Route "im Bau" und daher etwas schwieriger zu bewältigen.
Insgesamt absolut zu empfehlen mit beeindruckenden Aussichten.
