Stórurð, the giant boulders
The Icelandic summer night is without a doubt one of the most amazing things to experience in life. The sound is different and it smells like magic. In this atmosphere we will hike to the giant boulders, Stórurð.
Stórurð boulders is one of Icelands most spectacular sights. The expansive surroundings offer plenty to see and experience; blue-green ponds contrast with flat, vegetated meadows surrounded by sheer-sloped and jagged tuff Dyrfjöll mountain peaks. As the name suggests, the area is strewn with many enormous boulders, likely abandoned by retreating glaciers.
The meeting point is at Vatnsskarð and we start the hike at 21:00. Stórurð is one of the most magnificent natural creations in Iceland, surrounded by Dyrfjöll mountains. The scree is very unique, flat meadows, rugged boulders, some tens meters high, beautiful ponds, and special vegetation. Walking in Stórurð is a unique experience.
Elevation: 450m
Km: 14
Trip difficulty level: 3/5
We hike in small groups, 10-20 people.
Included in the price:
Meet on site at Stórurð Visitor Centre at 20:00
