​Night 1 - Stórurð
The trip starts at Gistihúsið Lake Hotel in Egilsstaðir. You can check-in at the hotel after 16:00 get everything ready for the walk and even have dinner there before setting off.
At 19:00 the group will be driven to the starting point of the hiking trail in Stórurður. Stórurður 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 Stórurður is a unique experience.

On Saturday morning, at the end of the walk, the group is picked up and driven to an accommodation in Egilsstaðir. Overnight at Lake Hotel in rooms with private bathroom.


Day 1
When people have slept through most of the travel fatigue, the day is free and ideal to visit the Spa Bath which is at the hotel and have a walk around the town. Lake hotel also has one of the best restaurants in East Iceland, so it is ideal to enjoy what it has to offer while staying there.
