Sprengisandur - Into the Wild
- Duration: 8 Days (approx.)
- Location: Reykjavík
- Product code: Spreng
The mystery trail over Sprengisandur was hidden and feared by Icelanders for centuries, mainly because of the countless stories of elves and outlaws that were supposedly waiting for lonely travelers passing by. The trail connects the north and south parts of Iceland and leads in between the mighty glaciers Vatnajökull and Langjökull. Every rider in Iceland knows the song "Á Sprengisandi", the tale of a lonely traveler riding from south to north, describing his frightening experience on the way.
The contrasts of nature are really magnificent on this trail. We ride from the green valleys of the north until we meet the rocky desert of Sprengisandur with magnificent views of the surrounding Glaciers. We begin to experience what it is like to be a lonesome rider during long days in the saddle!
The accommodation varies from nice guesthouses at the beginning and end of the journey, to cozy mountain huts, with the Laugafell oasis in the middle of the tour. In Laugafell, a warm natural pool awaits us after our ride through the desert. Those who love the wilderness and pure unspoiled nature will enjoy this tour to the outmost.
