Fire and ice. Today we ride along soft trails by the banks of the mighty glacial river Thjorsa, with the Eyjafjallajökull glacier and the Hekla volcano always in view. Our horses remain in the Sandlaekjarmyri pastures while we return to Kalfholl by bus. Afterwards, we enjoy the hot water in the hot pot at the Kalfholl Guesthouse. (approx. 20 km)

We begin our day on the banks of the Sanda River, which flows through the Skridufellskogur Forest into the beautiful Thjorsardalur Valley. The Hekla volcano looms over fields of dark blue lupins that frame the sandy bridle paths. During a rest stop, we can visit the ruins of the Stöng farmstead, which was buried under the ash of Hekla in 1104. This massive eruption destroyed at least 20 farmsteads in Thjorsardalur. We make another stop at the Gjain Gorge, famous from scenes in the Game of Thrones series. We spend the night in the cozy Holaskogur mountain lodge. (approx. 35 km)

Today, our sure-footed horses carry us along mystical, narrow paths, past the black lava north of Mount Valafell and the wild landscape of the Lambaskard mountain trail. We continue along sandy paths by Lake Saudleysuvatn and finally through a lunar-like desert to the Landmannahellir mountain hut, where we will spend two nights. (approx. 30 km)

Today we ride to the renowned Landmannalaugar area with its natural bathing area, surrounded by colorful mountains. Our horses rest in a corral, and we have time to relax in the naturally warm waters of the river before returning to Landmannahellir. This day is undoubtedly one of the highlights of this tour. (approx. 40 km)

We leave the beautiful Landmannalaugar area and ride towards Mount Herbjarnfell. Today's trails reveal many facets: deserts of black ash, bizarre lava flows, and pumice stone bear witness to the many eruptions of Hekla. We continue across green pastures where sheep graze during the summer. We spend the night at the Holaskogur mountain hut, which offers a magnificent view of Hekla. (approx. 40 km).

We saddle our horses for one last ride and tölt across the green highland pastures, over the Seljamyri bog to Fögruskogar and Threngslasandur, and on to the Rettarholt guesthouse. Here we say goodbye to the horses and our tour guides before the bus takes us to Kalfholl farm, where we enjoy coffee and cake before returning to Reykjavik.
