The Best Sight in Sprengisandur Route, The Highlands

A highlight of the Sprengisandur route, the “Pass of Hope” is a hiking trail between the Tungnafellsjökull and Vatnajökull glaciers with stunning panoramic views. Ask at Nýidalur for updates on conditions before setting out on this trail, as meltwater from glaciers can make crossing streams difficult. You'll need to be well prepared as the trail is rated challenging and the round-trip hike is around 26 km (16 miles).
