Hallormsstaðaskógur is Iceland’s largest national forest, located by the eastern shore of Lagarfljót, known for hiking trails, woodland and outdoor recreation.
The area is well suited to visitors who want to experience Icelandic landscapes at a slower pace. Walk carefully, stay on paths where available and always take current weather and local conditions into account.
