The Grapevine's take
Þórsmörk
This tucked away valley is blocked to normal cars by the Krossá river, meaning it’s determined hikers who bus or jeep their way there. The mountains are purple and blue, there are hiking trails to suit all abilities, hot pools to soak in, and camping huts to rest beneath the fresh air. “It’s just one of the most beautiful spots on earth,” said the panel. With all kinds of peaks and nooks and crannies, the area is full of natural beauty and folkloric significance, with all kinds of historical landmarks and spiritual tales attached to the trails and region. It has a very special feeling.
