The trail leads towards the Emstrur region, a traditional grazing area for Icelandic farmers. Before arriving at the Botnar hut, you'll stop at the dramatic Markarfljót canyon, carved deep into the surrounding rock. You'll spend the night at the hut, resting up for the next day's adventure.
Your final morning of hiking will be spent exploring the scenic paths around Þórsmörk.

In the afternoon, you'll catch the bus back to Reykjavík, where you'll arrive at the BSI bus terminal by early evening, marking the end of your adventure.
