How to get to this magical site?

F26 then F208 north

This is the easiest road to reach Landmannalaugar, as there are no fjords to cross while travelling it – provided you park a few hundred meters from the campsite. Most vehicles park before it, because it is preceded by a fjord that can be relatively deep and most tourists prefer to avoid crossing (and they are right), bypassing it on foot via a footbridge. Just a hundred meters later, the campsite is the starting point for many hikes, to admire the mountains that dominate the site.
