The Drive to Landmannalaugar takes about 2.5 hours from Keflavik Airport. After heading east on route one, and making a left on route 26, we came to our first F-Road of the trip, F26. While these rocky and off the beaten path roads are daunting to drive on at first, they offered incredible sights. As you drive on F26 to Landmannalaugar - you will feel like you are driving on Mars. The contrast of the Moss Green Mountains and black sand roads creates a stunning view.
When you get to Landmannalaugar, you are immediately met by the beautiful painted mountains. There are tons of campers in the basecamp hanging out and relaxing in the hot springs. We had an amazing time walking and hiking around the camp and were able to get our first taste of an Icelandic Hot spring. Landmannalaugar was an incredible introduction to a landscape unlike anywhere else in the world. The drive in, on its own, was well worth the trip and was one of the most beautiful drives we have ever taken.
