August Kj lur is our oldest tour and has been run almost continually since 1974, and continues to be the most popular tour in our program. It is a good introduction to Iceland, as it gives you the chance to see and visit many of the natural wonders the country is so famous for . Move back in time and ride along the historic Kj lur trail as Icelanders did throughout the centuries. Visit the Geysir hot spring area and mighty Gullfoss waterfall and enjoy the impressive glaciers of the interior. Scattered grasslands come as a surprise in a landscape shaped by glaciers, ice and snow.
Hot springs invite for bathing in natural warm water in the heart of the country.
After lunch we prepare ourself and join the guides preparing for the ride. We leave Varmahl and ride through the fertile M lifellsdalur valley and ascend past Lake A almannsvatn towards the mountain cabin at Galtar . Here we spend the night, overlooking a huge artificial lake created by a dam in River Blanda. The location offers great views of the big glaciers ahead of us and towards the huge mountains of the North behind us. Up to mid-July the sun hardly sets in this part of the country.
