#8 How to get to Múlagljúfur Canyon

In this video I will show you how to get to Múlagljúfur canyon in #iceland. I recorded the video in June 2021. Múlagljúfur is a massive canyon in the southern region of Iceland and quite close to the Glacier Lagoon (Jökulsárlón). The reason I made this video is that it can be a little bit tricky to find it since the gravel road that leads there is unmarked.
This is where you need to turn from route 1 to get to where the hike starts:

or: N 63° 59' 19.255'', W 16° 23' 42.09''

I can’t believe this is one of the only hike videos at this amazing place😍 on KZbin…. I hiked in the fog(which came in late afternoon last part of my hike there) until you couldn’t physically go any further felt like I was on top of the world best hike I’ve ever done immensely beautiful!!! Also bathed in the glacial streams behind the car park wall now that was refreshing 😅 Good video cheers

My wife and I are coming to Iceland, and will be there the 21st of June!! Cant wait, this is one place I feel is a must see as I love photography and would really love to get some epic shots and possibly print a couple. I hope we will be able to find it

[@hermannhelguson]

Hope you'll get some great shots there! 🙂

[@alfredollompartrigo5437]

[@chasinglife2861]

OMG!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@hermannhelguson]

Thank you 🙂

[@seoulman2743]

nice ten minute video. just right

[@GAMEOVER-zc7ek]

Frickin bird almost hit your drone! Kinda skipped a beat there. Anywho, thanks for the video. Will be visiting iceland this sept and planning to hike this canyon.

[@hermannhelguson]

Thank you. You are welcome. The bird was very close 😅 Hope you'll have a great trip to Iceland!

[@MrFrankie1311]

Great video! 👍👍👍 I plan my second photography trip to Iceland, for the next year and this location is definitely one of the must see items! ....and you said, you are afraid of heights but walking on the edge....? I can say, that my hands start sweating, only from watching the video... 😉 br from Germany

[@hermannhelguson]

Thank you 🙂. Haha yes I sometimes like to challenge my fear 😅

[@lecuriosecronache]

Grazie

[@hermannhelguson]

You are welcome! 🙂

[@shaktichauhan5367]

Thank you for this beautiful & detailed video. Could you please tell that In which month did you travel to this place?

[@hermannhelguson]

You are welcome and thank you for watching. I was there in July 🙂

[@taniac3669]

Thank you Hermann for taking us to the Canyon. It helps a lot when we are there . Such a breathtaking view . Did birds attack your drone ?I saw them circling around 😊Now i found you on you tube , I subscribed and follow you so might help for my coming Iceland itinerary

[@hermannhelguson]

You are very welcome. Thank you for watching and for subscribing. Those are Fulmars flying around. They didn't attack my drone - only curious.

[@psocretes8183]

I had a laugh when you said the path was closed because it had a row of rocks across it. In Wales United Kingdom they try not to put signs up in the mountains to keep the illusion of adventure. Thank you for the video.

[@hermannhelguson]

Thank you and you are welcome. It is such a good way to close paths. I like when things are done like this - keep nature as unspoiled as possible 🙂

[@breezy_basil]

Great video. Thank you for sharing! Do you personally prefer Múlagljúfur Canyon or Fjadrargljufur Canyon?

[@hermannhelguson]

You are welcome and thank you! I personally prefer Múlagljúfur Canyon 🙂

[@rodinkfotografie]

Thanx for this info, very helpfull. Is it possible to drive at the gravelroad with a camper to the endpoint/parkinglot?

[@hermannhelguson]

You are welcome! Yes it should be no problem in normal conditions 🙂

[@artteacher71]

We did it in July.

[@johnrvt]

great video. What is the approximate distance to the first viewpoint? I am disabled and can hike about 2.2 miles total with aid. Can't do the full canyon but hope to make it to first view.

[@hermannhelguson]

Thank you. It should be around 1 - 1.2 miles one way to the first platform. Hope you'll be able to visit this beautiful place!

[@hobbitsfeet1104]

Thanks for posting the GPS coordinates! Great idea. We are going to Iceland in a few weeks. I have read it is 'possible' to hike in winter but not recommended. Do you know if the road is plowed or if you can even see the trail with a fresh blanket of snow? I'm assuming no but it doesn't hurt to ask! I'd love to go but I won't be a fool if it's questionable.

[@hermannhelguson]

You are very welcome and thank you for watching. Hiking in winter really depends on weather and snow conditions each time. Sometimes it's completely fine. I am not sure if it's plowed to be honest. Hope it will be possible when you are there!

[@hobbitsfeet1104]

@@hermannhelguson That is pretty much what I have been hearing. Thank you for responding!

[@mclark42]

Great images! What path do you take to explore the canyon floor?

[@hermannhelguson]

Thank you! You will need to go a little further towards the river. Not sure if there is any path there.

[@chrissihenn6526]

Incredible shots! Whats the name of that song when you flew with the drone?

[@hermannhelguson]

Thank you! Links to songs and song names are in description 😊

[@user-hj4rb1hd4k]

Hi, wonderful video! I’m actually going to Iceland soon - do you think that reaching the 1st viewpoint is feasible for someone terribly afraid od hights and exposure? Thanks in advance for your opinion.

[@hermannhelguson]

Thank you so much. Yes I think it's feasible. You should definitely try to go to the first platform 🙂

[@SoCo_Surfcasting]

Ten more days!

[@RsSkalman]

What drone did you film this with?

[@hermannhelguson]

DJI Mavic 2 Pro

[@KevExplorer]

Hi there.. I'm coming alone this year during summer (June) I plan to visit here with drones , but I was concern if I will lost the track .. are you using GPS with you during this 45mins of hike..?

[@hermannhelguson]

Hi and thank you for watching. No I wasn't using GPS. It is quite easy to find the right way - no GPS needed.

[@KevExplorer]

@@hermannhelguson Thank you so much ! I really hope there's no fog during summer 🙏

[@___saj____]

Is it possible to reach there by public transport?

[@hermannhelguson]

No I don't think so. It's best to go with a car

[@helgabjorghermannsdottir1691]

Skemmtilegt myndband 🙂

[@hermannhelguson]

Takk 🙂

Human male face laying down at almost top... stone giants

[@user-vn5go1ko9w]

Stone giant movie where we start as massive giants sculpting the land... once done laying down to rest where water falls are... I've seen too many stone giants in the rocks always near waterfalls... computer animators would hate me lol
