On day two, we’ll depart from the cozy mountain hut at Jökulheimar and journey through the Veiðivatnahraun lava field in the heart of Iceland’s highlands. Our route will take us toward the Veiðivötn lake area, a stunning highland oasis known for some of the best brown trout and arctic char fishing in the world.
Next, we’ll set our sights on Mt Hekla, one of Iceland’s most active volcanoes. In ancient times, Hekla was even referred to as “The Gateway to Hell.” As we traverse this idyllic paradise, you’ll discover firsthand the incredible beauty and diversity of Iceland on a motorcycle tour.
Our day’s ride will conclude at a charming mountain hut where we’ll spend the night, basking in the glow of a day full of adventure and unforgettable experiences.
