Tour description
Langisjór, one of Europe’s most beautiful and pristine highland lakes, is tucked in between the beautiful Tungnárfjöll and Fögrufjöll Mountains at the western edge of Vatnajökull Glacier. Measuring 20 km long and 2 km wide in some places, the lake is 27sq km and 75m at its deepest and lies some 640m above sea level.
The view around the lake is magnificent and at the southern end of the lake stands Sveinstindur (1090 m) which is considered by many to be one of the best views of the panorama of the surrounding area.
Views over Lakagígar, Skaftáreldahraun, Öræfajökul and Hekla are possible in clear weather. Hike to the top of the mountain Sveinstindur (1092m above sea level) is relatively easy and hikers with little to no experience can get to the top with an increase of 400m in altitude.
The view from the top is unique, it is said that in case the weather is good enough, a person should be able to see a view that stretches a quarter over Iceland.
Hiking is optional in this tour and tours are tailored to needs and wants of the travelers. There are other great view points over the lake Langisjór that can be accessed in super jeep
