Thorsmork is a national park in Iceland, famed for its many beautiful waterfalls, glaciers and glacial rivers. This is Icelandic scenery at its finest, and nature at its rawest -- you will need a good jeep or SUV or vehicle of the like to really enjoy this place. Generally, the area resembles a cross with Thorsmork in the south, Markarfljoti in the west, Ljosa in the north and Myrdalsjokli in the east.
Thórsmörk is an idyllic place of exceptional meteorological conditions hidden in the embrace of glaciers and mountains. Thórsmörk is a place of breathtaking landscapes and a fauna of great variety. It is the home of 170 seminiferous plants as well as a variety of trees, moss and fern. There are several hiking possibilities from the lodges in Húsadalur. A short hike leads to interesting caves and the canyon of Markarfljótsgljúfur. The peak of Valahnjúkur offers a magnificent view and following a path from there a bridge over Krossá makes it possible to visit the part of Thórsmörk that lies on the other side of the river. From Húsadalur it is also possible to take the beaten path to Landmannalaugar, a treasured place where natural pools offer unique bathing facilities fed by hot springs
