Hiking in Iceland. This is our selection of the 20 best hiking trails in Iceland. We traveled there in late May, early June on a hike road trip along the famous Ring Road. These hiking trails best showcase the wild and naked nature of Iceland.
To make it into the list, the hikes had to match the following criteria: Be close to the Ring Road (so none of the trails in the Highlands or the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve of the Westfjords are included), be accessible with a normal car instead of a 4x4 SUV, be up to 10km in length, be among the top-rated trails in the Alltrails app. All of the trails are shown on our map at www.trailwalkers.co.
The video includes also some places that can be considered as hidden gems or secret spots - e.g. whale snorkeling at the Strytan Divecenter or the Gljufrafoss and Nauthusagil waterfalls. In this video you'll also find some travel tips and see where to park your car at the trailheads. Enjoy!
