The Far End of the World

Hike Among Elves and Trolls in Iceland

In the north east of Iceland lies hidden an area that has recently been discovered as a true gem for hikers. This part of the country has been quite isolated through the centuries giving life to strange stories of elves that are supposed to live among the people there. The landscape comes in all shapes and sizes and the variety of colors is stunning; everything from the black sands of the beaches to the red and white coulours of the mountains. On our first day we hike through Stórurð, a place where trolls can be seen and in the afternoon we reach Borgarfjörður, a little fishing village. The following days we walk on old trails between coves which have been deserted for a long time. In former times there were many farms in the area but nowadays sheep and a few hikers are the only ones who wander between the ancient farmsteads. The whole way we follow well maintained paths and sleep in charming huts close to the shore. This trip is a chance to step into another world and enjoy nature at its best.

THIS IS A TREKKING TOUR

Our trekking trips are a comfortable way to enjoy the great outdoors. These are assisted treks, which means your luggage and food will be transported from hut to hut in a 4x4 jeep. That means you only have to carry a small daypack but still have the luxury of a proper meal and a change of clothes each night. At the end of the day you can relax while your guid prepares dinner and desert!
