Um Þórsmörk

Þórsmörk, skóglendi Þórs, er eitt af elskuðustu hálendisverndarsvæðum Íslands, geymt á milli þriggja jökla: Eyjafjallajökuls, Mýrdalsjökuls og Tindfjallajökuls. Hlífði dalurinn geymir birkiskóg sem er sjaldgæfur á íslenska hálendinu, og svæðið er lokamark bæði hinna frægu Laugavegar og Fimmvörðuhálsgönguleiðarinnar. Þangað er aðeins komist með 4WD jeppa eða hálendisstrætó á sumrin.

Bakgrunnur

Saga og bakgrunnur

Þórsmörk has been a significant site in Iceland's landscape. Throughout the years, this location has played an important role in Icelandic culture and natural history.

Þórsmörk is a sheltered Highland valley surrounded by Eyjafjallajökull, Mýrdalsjökull and Tindfjallajökull. Birch woodland, deep ravines and mountain trails make it one of Iceland's major hiking areas, and it is closely linked with the Laugavegur and Fimmvörðuháls routes. Access involves Highland roads and river crossings, so travellers should use appropriate transport and check current conditions.

Þjóðsögur

Saga og þjóðsögur

Þórsmörk — 'Forest of Þór' — is a hidden mountain valley where three glaciers meet and Iceland's most sheltered and fertile highland environment has created actual birch woodland — rare in Iceland. The name honours Þór, Norse god of thunder, a fitting patron for this dramatic setting between Eyjafjallajökull, Mýrdalsjökull and Tindfjallajökull glaciers. Þórsmörk is the end point of the Laugavegur trek and the start of the Fimmvörðuháls pass to Skógafoss. The valley has deep gorges, swing bridges, viewpoints and forest walks that could fill three days. Getting here requires a 4×4 or the Reykjavík Excursions Highland Bus — the river crossings are serious and not for regular vehicles.
