What people say

"The Stórurð hiking trail in Iceland is renowned as one of the most unique and captivating hikes in the country. Stretching for approximately 11 kilometers, the trail takes you through a mesmerizing landscape known as "the Giant Boulders" or Stórurð. This remarkable area showcases a picturesque oasis adorned with lush meadows and tranquil lakes, all encompassed by towering, rugged tuff mountain"

" tranquil hiking area full of mossy meadows, gigantic tuff boulders, and sea-green ponds. Take Road 94 or hike 2-3 hours from town to reach the trailhead. Climb past a short steep ascent on Geldingafjall and it's smooth hiking for 6-8 hours in otherworldly surroundings. "
