I messed up: I wanted to show you the "chains section downhill" view a bit longer in the video. But now you will have to pause the video, if you are interested in that specific info (sorry...): 7:30: the view with the text 7:38: the view without the text
Absolutely beautifully! I want to repeat. Where did you get drinking water? How was the mobile and internet connection on the route? Did you use a navigator or was it marked and clear well? And how did you get to Reykjavik from the last point? Thank you.
Hi!😀 I got drinking water in the huts on the way. On day1 you come past "Hrafntinnusker" hut, day 2 "Hvanngil" hut, day 3 filled up from a river (most water is fine to drink, unless it is "smelly"), day 4 "Baldvinsskáli" hut. I actually wasn't that thirsty. Mobile/internet connection was surprisingly good, just before Emstrur not so good. At the huts I always had connection. The trail is marked super well, can't get lost. But I also used a map on my phone, gps works without mobile connection. From Skógar to Reykjavík I used 2 buses: first "Straeto" bus nr 51 16:00 from Skógar to Hvollsvöllur, then changed to "Reykjavík Excursions" 17:40 to Reykjavík ... 👍
Hi! Yes should be allowed. Baldvinsskáli is an official "FÍ" hut (Iceland Touring Association) and camping is allowed at all of their huts. They even mention Baldvinsskáli here: www.fi.is/en/mountain-huts/camping . But to be 100% sure I would send them an email, they are usually quick responding. There is a second hut up there, called "Fimmvörðuháls hut". I don't know about camping there, but if you look up Baldvinsskáli and Fimmvörðuháls huts on Google Maps you find many photos with tents around both huts. One "warning" though: It is VERY exposed up there and can get super windy, wind is very common on the Fimmvörðuháls. So I would be hesitant to camp there. If I was you I would try to book a "bed" in one of the huts, just to be safe against bad weather. Even if you have booked/payed a bed, you can still decide to camp outside "for fun" 😁
@@mgrallert Hi thanks for the reply, I will email them to make sure, My Lan shan tent has held up in 50 to 60 MPH winds before in Snowdonia and in Hardangervidda national park in Norway, , but that is with 6x strong delta pegs in the ground, I can imagine I would be often relying on rocks on this trail, and best that I take my Panacea pole tent, and book the hut if it is exposed up there!, thank for the information, I will take note of the huts!
@@ianwoods4020 Yeah, Iceland camping is mostly rocky ground... Btw: I am planning to do 7 days Hardangervidda next August. Thanks for reminding me, that it can be very windy there...😮

@@mgrallertthank you for your answer. Your videos are very beautiful. Good luck!
Can you camp in a tent at Baldvinskalli hut 14kms between Porsmork and Skogar? I can not hike so far with 15/20 kgs on my back
