Tour 20 – Kjölur: 6 days of riding 
Varied Wilderness Up Close
The Kjölur route is an ancient riding trail, intimately associated with many dramatic events in Icelandic history. We visit the popular attractions of Gullfoss and Geysir as well as uninhabited tracts of land, glaciers, wilderness and hot springs. We ride north between glaciers and spend a night close to a creeping glacier. Hot springs await us at Hveravellir, like an oasis in the desert. We continue towards Northern Iceland until we reach one of its many green and beautiful valleys, our final destination.
