Please be careful when driving to Þórsmörk and notice that it is not possible to go there with all vehicles. Quite a few streams and rivers have to be forded to get there and no-one should attempt that without the company of experienced people and modified(33 inch tires or more) 4x4 vehicle. The glacial rivers are unpredictable and the fords change constantly.
Þórsmörk is one of the brightest pearls in the string of beautiful areas of the country, surrounded by rugged and majestic mountains, glaciers and glacial rivers, decorated with small birch woods and silver lined with humming streams. It is rather difficult to describe the charm of this area. It has been tried in the already existing literature with various results. The Icelanders appreciate Thorsmork (The Forrest of Thor) very much and visit it frequently the whole year round. Laugarvegurinn, a very popular hiking trail starts or ends here. A hiking trail from Þórsmörk to Skógar goes over Fimmvörduháls. The distance from the capital is about 150 km. The Bus Company Kynnisferdir offers scheduled bus transfers to Þórsmörk during summer. The cash is a transparent box. Inside is a log book, a pen, coin lady bird and TB Orville.
