Hostel Þórsmörk offers two kinds of accommodation. One being the small cottages for 4-5 people in bunk beds. In the cottages are cooking facilities, a table, chairs and table wear for 6 persons. A stove and a sink with running water also. The other being double/twin rooms in a seperate house. Shared facilities with showers are in the building, but also in the service house a few steps away. Þórsmörk, is without a doubt, one of Iceland‘s most beautiful and enigmatic natural wonders. It is surrounded on all sides by glaciers, mountains and mountain rivers, which can both act as a hindrance but also attribute to genial weather conditions. The rivers can be quite treacherous and are not easily crossed. Only altered 4x4 trucks with experienced drivers or large buses should cross those raging fords. Þórsmörk offers a splendid variety of hikes and trails for everyone. Short, medium and long walks can be found. Through dwarf birch forests, along the turbulent glacial rivers, up hills and mountains or into deep canyons – the options are endless. A very popular and much travelled hike is called the "Laugavegurinn", a 50 km marked trek from Landmannalaugar to Þórsmörk. A warden is present in Húsadalur from May through September and can be contacted with all kinds of questions, regarding the accommodation, services, hiking trails or anything that goes on in Þórsmörk.
