Awesome video! You are in good shape, to push straight to Skogafoss! It's not for everybody! I'm preparing for the possibility of not reaching the hut on the top on the first day. Maybe crossing in 3 days.
Thank you! It was a long day but from the hut its mostly downhill, so even if it feels tough you would likely make it to the end its mostly a matter of how pleasant the experience will be :)
This is exactly what I needed after a long day at stressful work. It is inspirational and motivating to get out of comfort and make something out of the life we were gifted to have. Thank you so much for sharing and wishing you only the best.
Nicely done! Thanks for sharing. I bring back so many memories of my hike on this route in 2019. I'm looking forward to your video about the Laugavegur trail.
Thank you! Glad you liked it, going hiking in Crete next week and will finish up and upload Laugavagur a few weeks after! Did the trail look different to you from 2019?
Such a beautiful piece Jonathan! Just had a look at the one of Kraig Adams, it seems like he had slightly better weather conditions on the trail ;) and didn't walk the mountains. Love this film and the atmosphere you created with it, great work man. Have a great week. Cheers, Mario
Thank you Mario! indeed, he left a bit later than us on the day we both hiked the Fimmvorduhals and managed to steer clear from the rainy start on that day! We did have better weather on the Laugavagur trail which I'm working on next to upload once I'm back from my next hiking adventure!
Thank you for a beautiful film! I spotted you earlier tonight in the Kraig Adams film, which contained surprisingly little wilderness. Really nice that someone who was on the trip made a film with the majestic scenery and beautiful trails! As usual impressively filmed, cut and edited. All the best!
Thank you very much for those kind words! Hehe nice spotting, I was in indeed in Kraig Adams 2 latest uploads from Iceland. Will upload the Laugavegur hike within a few weeks, stay tuned :)
@@JonathanLundmark Ohhhh look. Kraig did two films from Iceland…. I must have missed the first one….due to vacation. That explains the missing wilderness in the second one…. ;-) I will have to do some catching up with RUclips. And I’m looking forward to your next film!
Love it. I had the opportunity to hike the Laugevegur trail as well as the Fimmvorduhals trails (from Thorsmork up to the Magni and Modi craters), and then from Skogafoss up along the waterfall way. It's so insanely beautiful. You captured the landscape so well.
Thank you very much! I hiked the Laugavegur trail as well before Fimmvorduhals and will upload that video within a couple of weeks after completing a hike on Crete! Indeed insanely beautiful!
Thanks! I hiked the Laugavegur as well and will upload a video for that trek within a few weeks. Will you also document your hikes? Either way good luck in your hikes in Iceland!
@@JonathanLundmark it was lovely! i had great conditions (unlike laugavegur haha), and it was very challenging but very rewarding. felt proud of myself and still in awe of what i saw.
@@JonathanLundmark We just have one day before we jump on a cruise ship (around Iceland). We thought the Fimmvörðuháls trail would be awesome and it looks so. Hope to be back someday for extended Treks and camping. 3 weeks and counting!!
A cruise around Iceland sounds cool! Yes this trek was an awesome day-hike however the bus back to Reijkavijk only goes back once a day in the morning and takes quite a long time. It can also be a bit tedious to go to the trailhead if not hiking the Laugavegur trail, but it’s doable with some proper planning! Good luck!
Beautiful scenery! I stumbled across this trail by chance while visiting Skogarfoss. Had to turn back after the first few kilometres because we didn't have any equipment with us. The experiemce was already magical. I always wondered what the trail would look like further up.
Great video! Really impressed footage of this hike and the beauty of the landscape. Looking forward to the Laugavegur-film. Maybe you remember that we met several times during that hike. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Thank you for those kind words Ronald! Hmm I think I remember you but not 100% sure without matching a face as there were a lot of people and names on the trails to be honest. But I seem to remember 1 Ronald, Greetings from Sweden👋
Beautifully shot! Stoked to stumble upon your channel. I cant wait to check out all your Swedish hikes! I absolutely love Norways outdoor scene, and have been to Sweden (I am of Swedish decent as well) but have not been exposed to much of the nature trails there so Im excited to find some trails to explore for the future! Great stuff!
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it! I have som swedish hikes uploaded indeed and plenty more planned. I also have a few norwegian hikes planned, I have hiked there before and it’s very beautiful!
What a beautiful and inspiring video. You are using the Mini 2 drone as per your description. I heading to Iceland for an 8th time in July and thinking of upgrating from my Mini 2 to Mini 4 for the follow feature, but watching your video, I will challenge myself to acheive what you did with the Mini 2. 😁
Thank you! Last Friday I walked from Fimmvörðuháls hut to Skogar, but at the first waterfall I walked the wrong way. Instead of walking along the river, the route was along a road; very boring and frustrating. This beautiful film makes up for part of it!
Warning to all other viewers of this fantastic film: do not make the same mistake as me, follow the route from the waterfall (seen at 13:33) along the river and do not go inland.
I did the same thing last year and I'm ashamed to say my girlfriend and I cut across the grass to get back on the path. I normally wouldn't but it was a special day. I planned to propose once we reached the end at Skogafoss. There was no way I was walking her down the dirt road and missing all the waterfalls. She said yes!
Dear Jonathan! Thats a really nice video! Where do you got the music for the video from? I want to do a video of my Laugavegur Hike and dont know which music I can use
@@JayJayGoesTo Hi! I used epidemic sound to get the music but youtube also has a library which is free to use. Thank you and best of luck on your hike!
Beautiful work. Loved the drone shots and you justified the beauty of Iceland through your work. More power to you, brother. Subscribing to you now to see more such videos in near future.
Wow, thank you 🙇♂️ Will upload my Laugavegur hike from Iceland within a few weeks and have more hikes planned ahead! Next stop for me is Crete to hike some gorges.
@@JonathanLundmark Awesome. Looking forward to it. If you plan to visit India, do let me know. We can plan some epic hikes here in Himalayas. I know you have been to Nepal but you can explore some epic trails in India too.
Great video! 👍 I'm getting myself ready to go to Iceland next week to do those two hikes. Well done! 🙌 From a technical perspective, which drone did you use, and how did you deal with the battery issue? ⚡ Did you have a power bank with you, or did you recharge somewhere along the way? 📷💡 thansk
Hey, thanks! I used DJI Mavic Mini 2 because its so light weight and travel-friendly and brought quite a lot of power banks indeed for the whole trek. You were able to charge in Thorsmork between Laugavegur and Fimmvorduhals. Good luck! I take it you will be filming too?In that case looking forward to see it!
@@JonathanLundmark Yes, in a week I'm heading to Iceland for a week, and I'm bringing along my DJI Mini 2 :) I'm actually new to the world of filmmaking, so this trip will mark the beginning of my RUclips journey. I'm really excited to explore Iceland's breathtaking landscapes and capture them on camera. I'm hoping to learn and improve my filmmaking skills along the way. If you have any tips or suggestions for a beginner like me, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you again for your help! :)
That’s awesome! Hmm you’ll learn as you you but content wise I like to alter the angles to keep things interresting, shoot from back, front and side! As for drone shots keep em slow and steady without any turning, if you are flying in multiple dimensions at once lock all angular speeds otherwise it’ll look jerky. Remember to keep the shutter speed to 180 degrees to ensure you don’t get any jitter! If you are filming 30fps with the drone you should have 1/60 shutter speed and use ND filter on the lens to adjust brightness. Sorry for the late reply, best of luck on your hikes and filmmaking!
Wow, I enjoyed it! I'm going there coming August and have one question for you. I'm going to take a bus from Skoga to Reykjavik, but I don't know if there is an afternoon bus as my hike will be over around noon. Could you tell me where I can get bus information please? I feel comfortable if I can reserve a bus to Reykjavik. Thanks for your advice in advance!
Hi and thank you! There is the public bus which you can not book in advance and then a few different operators you pay and book in advance. See for instance the following: nat.is/bus-schedules-reykjavik-skogar/ trex.is/tour/skogar/
Walk and set down the go-pro and set it to record... then back track and walk towards it..... then leave it there and walk away from the go-pro... then back track to go pick it up.... JUST ENJOY THE HIKE !!!!!
I like to pretend that I have seen a good chunk of the world. At least of Europe, the Americas, and parts of Africa. Few experiences match our decent into Thorsmork.
Thank you! If you hike during season months of July and August it should be fairly safe. In case of emergency however there are 2 huts in the middle of the trail. The last 8km stretch from Skogar has plenty of good spots to pitch tents as well as get water from the river (although wild camping is not allowed unless emergency). The first 3km from Thorsmork are also suitable for wild camping. On top there are parts that are flat with gravel where I can see tents being pitchable but it can be very windy and cold so probably not the best spot, I would try to hike downwards if conditions turn bad, either turning back or going forward to do so - bring a GPS to be safe!
@@JonathanLundmark Hi Jonathan, thanks for the reply, I would like to start at Landmannalaugar or even further North, So I would be wild camping from that trail, I noticed the trail is fine between June and mid September, I wonder if it is passible in October! thanks for the information, I will plan this section better, maybe stay by the hut near Torsmark and around 8kms from Skogar as I think that time of season would be ok, I wish I had taken a GPS on my hike in Hardangervidda national park Norway in September-Oct, as it snowed heavy and made parts of the trails impassable, and I had to turn back after a few nights on several attempt's to pass through the national park from different locations, I guess October could be a tricky month in Iceland also! Thanks for the information!
Nice, I started in Landmannalaugar myself (video uploading in a couple of weeks). It was a really good trail! Indeed conditions have a higher risk of becoming poor and dangerous the further away from ”season” you hike. I assume especially on the pass on Fimmvorduhals where winds get stronger on top. Norway sounds like an adventure! Good luck with your hike, will you film it?
@@JonathanLundmark Hi yes the condition change dramatically in Iceland and Norway between the September months and October, In Iceland I think it becomes wetter, the same as many national parks around 150 kms East/ North East of Bergen, And I noticed the 5 weeks I was there, it was getting dark around 6PM then 5PM, My footage was terrible as I had an old go pro, and I am terrible at editing, however I am slowly improving for an amateur, Same with photography, I really hike for the experiences way more so than video footage, However I hope to improve with the video footage, as I have had some great cold air exposure, and cold water therapy experiences, with long distance hikes, but even though I have uploaded them, the videos were hardly worth uploading, And for someone as experienced as you at video editing, you would be ashamed of ever uploading such videos! When I go back to Norway/Iceland I will try to record better footage and spend more time editing the videos, Looking at your quality of your RUclips videos, I highly recommend some of the national parks I managed to hike some time in Norway, Hardangervida in latemay to June or end of August or early September is fantastic because there are less people to almost no people on the main trails, Although I am unsure how busy it gets because it is a huge national park to long distance hike, A typical long hike from maybe Finse to Odda, travelling via Trolltunga, (so you don't have to hike that trail separately, is a good itinenery, I would love to hike so much more of Hardangervida, and I would if I lived in Bergen or Oslo, It is easily accessible by train, to get dropped off at Finse, Or Geilo (for an even longer adventure), to hike South West to Odda,) Transport is quite good in these locations, Via local bus or Trains, From Odda you could then take a bus through the long mountain tunnel 8 9 kms I think it takes 15 minutes to drive under the mountains, Then arriving at a small town of Sundial you can stay at camp site or cabins, or just start a few day hikes or overnight hikes in Folgefonna national Park, The scenery is amazing Harlingskarvet is a nice place to hike a few days, I spent 3 days up there, And further North is more remote but a fantastic national park that I want to explore a lot more of is the Utadalen, Jotemheimen, Breheimen, and Jostedalsbreen national park, I would like to curcuit all of those places at once! And take the scenic train from Myrdal to Flam, and bus to Ovra Ardal, where I would start the trail, I would choose these locations, as they are all around the same area of Norway, East of Bergen Lofoten is amazing I am sure, but that's for another time, If you ever consider hiking in Norway, You will never be disappointed, I think you could upload some incredible content /footage of these national parks I mentioned,
@@ianwoodzy638 Thank you for this very informative comment, I will look up all your suggestions. I have hiked in Jotunheimen before (Besseggen & Galdhöpigen) and found the scenery amazing. I am thinking to do a road trip to hike Trolltunga, Preikestolen and Kjeragbolten in one go and a separate trip to Lofoten perhaps next year. Your suggestion for a multi-day hike and grab Trolltunga on the way is appealing - I'll look into it! Thank you very much for your suggestions and all the information! Again - very helpful!

@@JonathanLundmark Hi yes the condition change dramatically in Iceland and Norway between the September months and October,
In Iceland I think it becomes wetter, the same as many national parks around 150 kms East/ North East of Bergen,
And I noticed the 5 weeks I was there, it was getting dark around 6PM then 5PM,
My footage was terrible as I had an old go pro, and I am terrible at editing, however I am slowly improving for an amateur,
Same with photography,
I really hike for the experiences way more so than video footage,
However I hope to improve with the video footage, as I have had some great cold air exposure, and cold water therapy experiences, with long distance hikes,
but even though I have uploaded them, the videos were hardly worth uploading,
And for someone as experienced as you at video editing, you would be ashamed of ever uploading such videos!
When I go back to Norway/Iceland I will try to record better footage and spend more time editing the videos,
Looking at your quality of your RUclips videos, I highly recommend some of the national parks I managed to hike some time in Norway,
Hardangervida in latemay to June or end of August or early September is fantastic because there are less people to almost no people on the main trails,
Although I am unsure how busy it gets because it is a huge national park to long distance hike,
A typical long hike from maybe Finse to Odda, travelling via Trolltunga, (so you don't have to hike that trail separately, is a good itinenery,
I would love to hike so much more of Hardangervida, and I would if I lived in Bergen or Oslo,
It is easily accessible by train, to get dropped off at Finse, Or Geilo (for an even longer adventure), to hike South West to Odda,)
Transport is quite good in these locations, Via local bus or Trains,
From Odda you could then take a bus through the long mountain tunnel 8 9 kms I think it takes 15 minutes to drive under the mountains,
Then arriving at a small town of Sundial you can stay at camp site or cabins, or just start a few day hikes or overnight hikes in Folgefonna national Park,
The scenery is amazing
Harlingskarvet is a nice place to hike a few days, I spent 3 days up there,
And further North is more remote but a fantastic national park that I want to explore a lot more of is the Utadalen, Jotemheimen, Breheimen, and Jostedalsbreen national park,
I would like to curcuit all of those places at once!
And take the scenic train from Myrdal to Flam, and bus to Ovra Ardal, where I would start the trail,
I would choose these locations, as they are all around the same area of Norway, East of Bergen
Lofoten is amazing I am sure, but that's for another time,
If you ever consider hiking in Norway,
You will never be disappointed,
I think you could upload some incredible content /footage of these national parks I mentioned,
