    Bikepacking I Iceland Divide Plus



    [German version below]
    3 weeks of bikepacking adventures in Iceland, just below the Arctic Circle. Hannes and Sandra explored this remote land in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, dominated by huge glaciers, ashen deserts, and mighty lava structures by bikes. After crossing the island from north to south (Iceland Divide), we also added the bikepacking.com route from Landmannalaugar to Skógar.

    We hope you like the video and it motivates you to go out and explore the world by bike.

    3 Wochen Bikepacking Abenteuer in Island, knapp unterhalb des Polarkreises. Hannes und Sandra haben dieses Abgeschiedene Eiland mitten im Atlantik, dominiert von Gletschern, Aschewüsten und mächtigen Lavastömen mit dem Rad erkundet. Nachdem wir die Insel von Norden nach Süden durchquert haben, sind wir noch die bikepacking.com Route von Landmannalaugar nach Skógar gefahren.

    Wir hoffen euch gefällt das Video und es motiviert euch die Welt auf dem Rad zu erkunden! Oder zumindest für ein Like 😉

      Hallo Sandra und Hannes, tolles Video und geniale Route! Respekt dafür, dass ihr den Weg nach Thorsmörk genommen habt, das ist aber nicht die direkte Route nach Skogar. Das wär wohl auch nicht spaßig geworden. Wie lange wart ihr insgesamt unterwegs? Ich habe unsere "Mitstreiter" übrigens in Reykjavik auf dem Campingplatz wiedergetroffen. Die meinten, dass ihr Probleme hattet und evtl. abbrechen musstet? Ich bin froh, dass dem nicht so war. Euer Link zum Intagramm funktioniert leider nicht… Super viele Grüße gehen raus an euch von dem, der euch in Kitsufell entgegen kam, Stefan aus Berlin

      Hi guys, great video! I'm preparing for the same route, but next year. Would you recommend the Grand Canyon? Is there anything particular that I should be equipped with? Any general do's and dont's? Thx and best wishes!

      Thanks for the VERY BEAUTIFUL video of a wonderful bike trip in wonderful Iceland! But I was very surprised that you were following the pedestrian path from Landmannalaugar !!! How did you manage it ??? I was there on foot in 2019 and there are a lot of hard climbs and inability to cycle somehow! But you showed courage and courage! Especially big thanks to the girl! She is a real hero! Is there somewhere a detailed description of your impressions of this traversed path and more photos?

      Great video, solid trip! Thank you for sharing. Some questions about gear and what you took — 04:48 is this dehydrated food or regular one from the shop? If the latter what is it exactly? What full length trousers did you take. And you took two pairs of shoes as I noticed, what were the warmer ones? Did you feel comfortable pedalling? I tried similar from Shimano but I barely could bend forward my foot at ankle. Thank you in advance for the info :-).

      This looks amazing Marlok! We are thinking about doing something similar. What do you say about mobile coverage under the trip did you guys only use your regular phones or anything else?
      Much appreciate all input here!

      Cheers,
      Johan
