Long-distance trail in Iceland
Laugavegur
Laugavegur runs 53 km through Iceland in one continuous line. The route below is the waymarked relation itself, kept by the people who paint the blazes, not a line traced over a map by us.
Walk any of it with wayly and the trail keeps its own score. Every track you record clears the ground you covered, and the share of the trail lying inside that cleared ground is your progress — 42 km of it — 80 % and it counts as walked. Nothing to tick, and nothing to remember when you get home.
