An almost flat trail through an unreal setting: green moss on black rock, steam in the air. Upon arrival, still-glowing lava flows at the foot of an active volcano. A landscape from another world.

We did this hike on 27 September 2025. In fact, the route follows the same path taken by the shuttles that take tourists to the top of the volcano. The path is completely ruined by huge 4x4s. The walk is extremely difficult and requires detours through the natural environment, which is strictly prohibited by Iceland. We went all the way to the end anyway and extended the hike by climbing to the top of the volcano, which obviously added 6 km to the hike, half of which was uphill. The view from the top is spectacular, but there are other, easier ways to get there. In short, forget it.
