Heljarkambur is a section on the Fimmvörðuháls trail, meaning Hell’s Ridge, and once you reach it, you will understand why it is named so. There are chains installed for added safety, but you should still proceed with extra caution.
From the Þórsmörk area, you can reach Heljarkambur via two routes. You can either follow the traditional Fimmvörðuháls trail or take the path through the Hvannárgil canyon.
You can also make this place the destination of a day trip from the Þórsmörk area, ascending by one route and descending by the other.
