Sleeping & Eating
There are three lodging areas in the Þórsmörk area: Langidalur (sometimes referred to as
Þórsmörk) with huts as well as at nearby Slyppugil, Básar (technically in Goðaland) and
Húsadalur (also called Volcano Huts Thorsmork). All have huts and campsites, cooking fa-
cilities and running water. They get rammed during summer months, so it's crucial to book
space in the huts in advance. We recommend bringing a sleeping bag and your own food.
Note that wild camping is forbidden in the area, as it is a nature preserve.
