bericht van Gunnar Freyr Gunnarsson

Volcano Huts is the primary stop for visitors to Þorsmörk. The River Bus stops here and it serves as a great base camp for enjoying a meal, checking trail conditions, and soaking in their geothermal pool and sauna.

Volcano Huts also offers several accommodation options - a regular campsite, glamping tents, mountain huts, cottages and cabins.

Getting to Husadalur is a bit difficult because it requires a major river crossing. If driving yourself, it's essential to have a 4x4 Super Jeep (kitted-out Toyota Land Cruiser or Land Rover Defender).

The best place to rent a 4x4 Super Jeep is from ISAK. They have well-equipped, photogenic cars, with a snorkel. This helps ensure you don't drown the engine while crossing a river. Use the code "gunnar" for renting your Defender on a special price. 

Besides the river crossings, the roads to Volcano Huts are F-Roads. These roads are only accessible in the summer. Be sure you have a full tank of fuel and check road conditions and closures at road.is BEFORE attempting to visit Þorsmörk. Weather conditions can also change quickly and make traveling in the Highlands unsafe. Check the weather forecast at vedur.is. Account for longer driving times due to the slow pace at which you need to drive on F-Roads.

Tips on river crossings: https://epiciceland.net/icelandic-rivers-how-to-cross/. Make sure to go with the stream (diagonal across the river in the direction of the flow). Do not drive against the stream, but let the flow of the river help you cross.

You may also take the River Bus to Volcano Huts. Or, hike one of the two major trails that end/start here (a multi-day journey on the Laugavegur Trail or the intense one-day Fimmvörðuháls Trail).
