Landmannalaugar is a magnificent place. Lava field surrounded by mountains of colorful Rhyolite and one of the most popular places for hiking. Landmannalaugar actually means “Land mans pool”, because of the natural geothermal pools in the area. In the past, it was a welcome place for travellers who had traveled the country on horseback or on foot, to stop and bathe.
So do not forget to bring your swim suit and a towel with you on the trip!
