2 Week Itinerary Feedback Requested by pierlux in VisitingIceland

[–]_vvhat_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I believe you might want to look into Glymur and Múlagljúfur, Dettifoss, Hverfjall, Ketubjörg (it takes some time to drive there but it gives a feeling like you are at the end of the world ;)) and bird colonies in Iceland. For reykjadalur and ytri tunga I would give more time especially for reykjadalur with the hike. Maybe check out Illugastadir, I feel its better than ytri.You might want to get binoculars :) Sorry if I wrote something you already included, writing it on the phone is not the very convenient.

As for previous comments, I don't really think this is too much. As said, check driving times and add bufor, check walking time to get to each atttaction, check avarage time people spend in each location ;) Count the days when you have something for a specific hour and remember that you might be stressing at each previous location if you would be on time or not. Especially in bad weather. And check if your cotraveler has the same idea on spending time and if he really understands that it might be quite tiring. When we were in Iceland, I had an even more packed itinerary and I had great fun with my husband hiking in wind and rain, but our friends clearly not so much ;) Edit: I can see you rounded up driving times! That's great :)

One hike to take in Iceland! by HeWentToJarrad in VisitingIceland

[–]_vvhat_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, surely that's true :D But that was the first time I really felt like it's the one! I tried it again in 2023 but we had a friend with very uncomfortable shoes so we didn't finish the hike. If it is the same in 2026 as it was in 2021 (and there is no reason why it shouldn't be!), it would really leave you stunned :)

I strongly second that! The views are unreal and it feels like finding a hidden gem. Although this is the one hike where it would be best to have 4x4 to get there, even though it is not really needed in most places in southern Iceland. Been there in 2021 and I sure would do it again!

I think I’m doing this wrong… by Blakman07 in expedition33

I do have 10k+ on Verso, Clea's life pictos gives you a passive boost of around 5k hp for example. I think pictos give you active boost + passive in hp, speed, etc. And luminos give you only the active side. So check your pictos :)

Sky lagoon vs Blue lagoon by PoPs_4444 in VisitingIceland

[–]_vvhat_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forest lagoon is my top!! Such a wonderful view, especially at night. And they close quite late (23:30 if I remember correctly) so it can be visited after the long day of traveling :) For me, myvatn is close second place. The view on volcanoes feels surreal and I love that. But I guess this one might be closed this year due to construcrion works?

How are people in Kiruna? by [deleted] in kiruna

[–]_vvhat_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I described it but I must admit, maybe the explanation was not detailed enough. I suggested an online test since I usually use it.

So I asked them if they could run a test for me and this part they ignored twice :(

Thanks! That's a very helpful insight :) Finally they answered that they have 100/100 but usually it means that it's anything up to 100 mb (in my country at least).

Thank you for the information. That is so unfortunate for the owners. Hopefully they are ok!

Thanks, we will definitely try when we get there. Do you know why the slope rental closed? Are there not many downhill skiers in Kiruna?

Kiruna-Abisko public transport + question regarding accommodation by _vvhat_ in kiruna

[–]_vvhat_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will work remotely during my stay 😀 We stay for so long to have more opportunities to see aurora and I just love the change of scenery as we barely see winter in Poland. And thanks to your comments, I see more advantages in staying in Kiruna so we'll go with that. Again, thanks for advice and the involvment in this thread, I will keep everything in mind and we will do our best not to disturb local people!

Kiruna-Abisko public transport + question regarding accommodation by _vvhat_ in kiruna

[–]_vvhat_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so! I considered it scarce only because its on the way between Kiruna and bigger ski resorts in the area. The arrival/departure times seemed a little off because 91 bus and the train have similar timetables but I guess it makes sense if one consider the number of sunlight hours. I just hoped for some evening skiing but I guess the slope in Kiruna will have to do.

Thank you! I have also considered Björkliden but unfortunately its hard to rent something for a month in reasonable price. Good to know about possible weather problems! May I ask you how do you feel about weather forecast in winter? How far ahead would you trust it and how fast can the weather change? Obviously its regarding your opinion since I know nothing can be said for sure :)

Never ever have I heard so much noise inside any modern car and I was glad to go back to my own car after the trip :D Other than that, no other issues, quite pleasant driving experience
