4 Days Hiking the Laugavegur Trail | Cinematic 4K | Sony a7iv

As an avid hiker, the Laugavegur Trail and the Fimmvörðuháls Trail in Iceland were calling our names. The Laugavegur (55km) connects to the Fimmvörðuháls (25km), pairing together to bring hikers through an array of incredible terrain. From beginning our journey in Landmannalaugar, with its windswept rhyolite mountains and natural geothermal pools, to concluding our hike in Skogar next to the iconic Skogafoss waterfall, our four-day trek in Iceland reminded us of just how incredible our planet is - and just how incredibly lucky we are to explore it!
Our four days consisted of hiking amongst scattered steam plumes, crossing erie black sand deserts, wading through cold glacial rivers, scaling mountains, and carefully scrambling across wet ridges. And of course, hiking just days before the official end of the Laugavegur and Fimmvörðuháls hiking season, we ran into some gnarly weather. But hey, that’s Iceland. Poor weather is to be expected, right?
Anyways, enjoy this cinematic 4K piece from our time hiking along the trail.

WowzAAA! If that video doesn't make you want to go to Iceland I don't know what will. Brb, rewatching the video again. Great job Kendra! Can't wait to see your next adventure 🤩

[@kendraslagter]

Thanks, Millie! I appreciate you! 😄

[@PavoTreks]

Amazing cinematography, can't wait to get back to Iceland and walk this trail one day

[@kendraslagter]

Thanks! That means a lot. I'm hoping for the same - I'd love to get back there and hike the trail in reverse!

[@KeithDuhaime]

Thanks for sharing Kendra! My wife and I hiked these trails over 4 days in August of 2019. You brought back some fond memories of what I still think of as one of our favorite treks.

[@kendraslagter]

I completely agree - definitely one of my favourite treks as well! I'm so glad you enjoyed our recap 😀

[@timothey_sullivan]

This. Is. Incredible. We are going in July and have watched a TON of videos and this is our favorites!!!! Thank you for making this.

[@kendraslagter]

Wow, thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it 🙂 You are going to have the most incredible time in July. I still think this is one of the most amazing trails I have ever hiked.

[@Alex10Adventures]

Stunning video. The beauty of the landscape really speaks for itself!

[@kendraslagter]

Thanks so much, Alex! This is definitely a different style of video compared to my others. I really wanted to landscape to speak for itself - so I'm happy you caught the vibe!

[@Alex10Adventures]

[@douglascollins4708]

Dont have time to watch the thing right now, but the 1st minute reminds me why I hike/backpack

[@kendraslagter]

Ah, I love that! 😃

[@yehiasoliman6824]

Woow woow I have a question i am about to make the same hike after 3 weeks How did you manage charging your gears I asked the huts doesnt have electricity to charge

[@kendraslagter]

I brought an Anker powerbank with me. You can find them on Amazon! :)

[@Landphoo]

Hi great nature.. did you use to map? It’s first time or have you been before.. I love to hike there but I have no friend … Can I hike alone there?

[@kendraslagter]

Truthfully, we didn't use a map. The trail is very well marked; however, it is easy to get lost and turned around if the weather is bad. Poor visibility is very common along this trail and many people have gotten lost. I highly recommend downloading a map to your phone using an app. That way you can track yourself and follow the trail via satellite. We carried a paper map with us that we bought at the start of the hike, but we never used it.

[@darkfishy87]

what time of year was this?

[@kendraslagter]

September! Just a few days before the trail closed for the season.
