Mýri – Fossgilsmosar – Laugafell – Þorljótsstaðir – Sveinstaðir – Galtará – Öndvegi – Flaga

This tour takes us through the northern parts of Iceland´s most famous highland trails Sprengisandur, Kjölur and Arnarvatnsheiði all in one tour! We‘ll ride from Mýri farm and follow the old trail along Íshólsvatn and Mjóidalur to Fossgilsmosar close to the original Kiðagil canyon, well known from our song „Á Sprengisandi“. We‘ll follow the old trail of Sprengisandur with the huge glacier Vatnajökull in sight all day to the oasis of Laugafell with a hot natural pool aside. Then we ride down to Vesturdalur in Skagafjörður and then the next day straight back to the highlands; up to the Kjölur trail where we stay overnight at the mountain cabin at Galtará. We‘ll keep on riding to the west towards  Auðkúluheiði and Grímstunguheiði at the start of the old Arnarvatnsheiði trail. We‘ll spend another night in a cozy mountain cabin before we head down to Vatnsdalur in the north-west where the tour ends.

Accomodation: 4 nights in remote but cosy mountain cabins and 3 nights at nice guesthouses in  Bárðardalur, Skagafjörður and Vatnsdalur
