Stórurð Hiking Tour. Stórurð (The Giant Boulders) is without a doubt one of the unique and magnificent creations of nature in East Iceland. A Stórurð hiking tour is an unforgettable experience.
Something you will see on the Stórurð hiking tour. It lies below the small glacier west of Dyrfjöll Mountains and this boulder area was most likely created by a landslide at the end of the latest cold era of the Ice Age.
The boulders were carried by a glacier snout to the present location. It consists of gigantic tuff boulders, charming meadows and attractive ponds. A truly stunning scenery.
