Tag 1 13/9 Markaskarð-Foss

We drive to Markaskarð, where we saddle up and prepare for the tour. We start in the paddock to get to know the horses and have basic riding instructions. Then we and the herd of loose horses will head off Northwards. We will be surrounded by magnificent views, with the volcano Hekla ahead of us and Eyjafjallajökull to our right. Our first riding day ends at the hut Foss, our home for the next three nights.

Unterkunft: Berghuette Foss

Tag 2: 14/9 Wasserfaellen auf der Spur

Today we explore the area around our hut "Foss" further. We will go on two different rides in the morning and the afternoon and take only one horse on each ride. We leave the herd behind to venture into the beautiful landscape around Foss. We can enjoy amazing views over the mountains, lava fields, rivers and canyons. We will pass an abandoned farm and visit a man-made cave that used to be a sheepfold. Like the day before, we will go for two rides from our hut. We will ride up the hills south of Foss, where we will meet beautiful waterfalls, and enter a small cave called Thieves' Cave. If the sky is clear we’ll get a great view over the lowlands and the mountains.

(app. 2x12 km)

Tag 4: 16/9 Sorting Sheep

Today is the day: We go and watch sheep getting sorted at the Reyðarvatnsréttir.

After that it is time to leave Foss and head back to the lowlands. You will feel the spirit and growing excitement of the horses who know they are on the way back home! Tölting on a joyful horse, on soft grounds, in their natural environment surrounded by mountains and glacier views, is an unforgettable experience! We leave the horses and drive to the guest house Grimstaðir for the last night.
