Þjórsádalur valley along the longest river in Iceland called Þjórsá is a popular spot for riding, hiking and nature exploring. When traveling the southern highlands, like the roads around southern Sprengisandur, or Landmannalaugar it is a great possibility to spend one day in this breathtaking valley. In order to be able to visit all sights you will need a 4x4 car. If you don’t have one you can still visit the first three sights.
Tip: Take some sandwiches with you so you can eat on the way. There is no restaurant but some of the nature sights you are going to visit gives you the possibility to take a break and to picnic by enjoying the great surroundings.
