We opted for Reykjav\u00edk Excursion because the buses leave from the center of the capital and offer timetables that suit us.

But you can also radiate for the day from the camp for beautiful day hikes as we present below.<\/p>\n<p>The Landmannalaugar is also known for its hot springs. It is a mandatory stop if you come here. The source a little behind the tumult of the parking lot is superb. The temperature should be around 40 \u00b0 C but is flexible because cold and hot currents meet in the main pool, allowing you to find the location that suits you best. The bottom is in fine gravel which makes the water very clear. A structure allows you to store your belongings while swimming. The only downside and not the least: the world! In the afternoon when the buses arrived, it&#8217;s crazy! We therefore advise you to go there in the evening or even better in the morning! We were lucky to be only three in the basin on our way around 9am. Real happiness especially after a cool night.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;70&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_gallery el_id=&#8221;gallery-832061&#8243; medias=&#8221;62321&#8243; style_preset=&#8221;metro&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;1&#8243; media_items=&#8221;media|lightbox|original,icon,caption&#8221; screen_lg=&#8221;1000&#8243; screen_md=&#8221;600&#8243; screen_sm=&#8221;480&#8243; single_width=&#8221;12&#8243; single_height=&#8221;8&#8243; single_overlay_opacity=&#8221;50&#8243; single_overlay_anim=&#8221;no&#8221; single_image_anim=&#8221;no&#8221; single_v_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; single_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; lbox_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;60&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=&#8221;h3&#8243; text_size=&#8221;h3&#8243;]Practical information[\/vc_custom_heading][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;60&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_column_text]<strong>Or sleep ?<\/strong> Many solutions :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The refuge of &#8220;FI&#8221;, the Icelandic hiking association.
