[1][2][3][4] It is the most popular trail in Iceland, with an estimated 75,000-100,000 people hiking it every year.

[7] Laugavegur runs from the hot springs area of Landmannalaugar to the glacial valley of Þórsmörk.

[1] The route is typically completed by hikers in four days, north to south, with stops at the mountain huts of Hrafntinnusker, Álftavatn, and Emstrur.

However, adverse weather conditions such as thick fog or heavy snow can dramatically reduce the visibility.

[1] The trail is open from the end of June 25 to mid September, when the huts close.
