The name means 'The People's Pools of Laugar' — a reference to the hot springs where geothermal water meets glacial meltwater. The area has been used as a highland rest stop by Icelandic travelers for centuries. It is the start of the Laugavegur trail — considered one of the world's top hiking routes — and sits within the Fjallabak Nature Reserve. The colorful mountains are made of rhyolite, a volcanic rock that cools more slowly than basalt and produces an extraordinary palette of colors.
Landmannalaugar lies in Iceland's Highlands within the Fjallabak landscape. Visitors come for day hikes, longer routes including the Laugavegur trail, rhyolite scenery and geothermal features. Access is seasonal on highland roads and may involve vehicle restrictions and river crossings, so current road and weather conditions should be checked before travel.
