About us

Welcome to the Urbanature Community! 👋🏽
This is a space for local travelers, expats, and outdoor enthusiasts to connect face-to-face. Our mission is to break away from the daily grind and explore amazing places together, blending urban exploration with comfortable nature trails and scenic hikes.

Our European Network: We are a growing, vibrant community of explorers! We are currently running active day trips and hikes in Berlin, Dresden, Düsseldorf, and Paris, with Frankfurt launching very soon. We are also actively working to get our London and Munich chapters back on track!

### How Our Community Works

Our group is genuinely peer-led! Our active local guides are actually former participants who loved attending our trips so much that they stepped up to lead them for fun. Together, we organize two types of experiences:

  • Local Day Trips & Hikes: Easily accessible weekend getaways starting right here in town. We actively prioritize using trains and public transit for these local routes to keep things sustainable, low-impact, and highly affordable (€10–€12 to support our local guides).
  • Broader Travel Adventures: Unique, immersive itineraries across Europe and beyond. For destinations that require catching a flight, our focus shifts toward slow, mindful travel—supporting local economies, staying in community-centric lodging, and building deep cross-cultural connections.
  • We Are Always Looking for New Guides! 📢 Our community thrives because of people like you. Even though we have active guides in place, we are always looking for more passionate travel lovers who want to lead fun weekend day walks or hikes. If you love exploring and want to give back to the local community, drop us a message! It’s a great way to essentially get paid to have fun—you won't get rich, but we will nominally cover your time and track costs so you can share your passion with a great group of people. Connect with us here on Meetup or through our website!

Whether you want to meet like-minded people on a local weekend hike or join a larger group journey, you are welcome here!

    WHAT IS THE PLAN??
    Day 1 (Friday) - Meet & Greet + Lava Show
    Based on your arrival time, meet your guide at Keflavik Airport / Reykjavik bus station or directly at the accommodation and just head to supermarket to get some snacks for our roadtrip.
    We finish the day by going to the Lava Show in Reykjavík offers a unique and immersive experience, allowing visitors to witness real molten lava up close. The show provides a sensory-rich environment where guests can see, hear, and feel the intense heat of lava flowing in a controlled setting.
    Day 2 - South of Iceland
    The south of Iceland is home to some of the country's most iconic natural wonders, including the black sand beaches of Reynisfjara, the beautiful Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss waterfalls, and the stunning views of Dyrhólaey lighthouse and we also get to access the DC3 plane wreck. These unique landscapes are truly breathtaking and provide endless opportunities for exploration and adventure.
    We start our day early in Reykjavík and head towards the South Coast. Our first stop is Seljalandsfoss, a waterfall you can walk behind, followed by Skógafoss, where you can climb to the top for panoramic views. Continue to Sólheimajökull Glacier for a short walk to its edge or a glacier hike.
    Next, visit the famous DC-3 Plane Wreck on Sólheimasandur Beach. The wreckage of the US Navy plane, which crashed in 1973, is an iconic spot for photos.
    Afterward, head to Dyrhólaey Peninsula for coastal views and puffin spotting (in summer), then explore Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, known for its basalt sea stacks and powerful waves. We then continue our drive east to Kirkjubæjarklaustur for the night.
    Day 3 (Sunday) - Glacier Lagoon + East Fjord's Day
    This scenic day takes you through Iceland’s southeast and into the stunning East Fjords. Start early from Kirkjubæjarklaustur and stop at Skaftafell National Park for glacier views or a short hike to Svartifoss waterfall. Continue to Fjallsárlón and Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoons, where icebergs drift through glacier-fed lakes. Don’t miss a walk on Diamond Beach across the road.
    Stop for lunch in Höfn, known for its lobster, before heading into the quieter and more dramatic East Fjords. The drive takes you along winding coastal roads with optional stops in fishing villages like Djúpivogur and Stöðvarfjörður. If conditions allow, we will take the scenic Öxi Pass for a shorter and more adventurous route inland.
    Arrive in Eyjólfsstaðir (where we would be staying for the night), a peaceful countryside area near Egilsstaðir, by evening. It’s a great place to relax after a full day of driving and sightseeing.
    Day 4 - Northern Iceland
    Today’s route is packed with natural wonders as you head from East to North Iceland. Depart Eyjólfsstaðir early and detour off Route 1 toward Dettifoss, Europe’s most powerful waterfall. The road is gravel but manageable in summer, and the raw force of Dettifoss (and nearby Selfoss) is absolutely worth it.
    Continue west to the Mývatn area, a geothermal playground. Walk through the otherworldly Hverir hot springs and steaming vents, visit the lava formations at Dimmuborgir, and, if time allows, relax at the Mývatn Nature Baths—a quieter alternative to the Blue Lagoon.
    As you continue toward Akureyri, stop at the stunning Goðafoss, a horseshoe-shaped waterfall with historical significance and a great photo op.
    Arrive in Akureyri by evening, where you can explore the vibrant town center, stroll along the harbor, or grab dinner with a view. It’s a perfect mix of nature, culture, and small-town charm to wind down the day.
    Day 5 - West Iceland
    Leave Akureyri and head west toward the Skagafjörður region, known for Icelandic horses and wide-open valleys. Our first stop is at Glaumbær Turf Farm, a preserved historic site offering a glimpse into Icelandic life in the past.
    Continue toward Borgarfjörður, where you can explore Hraunfossar and Barnafoss, two striking waterfalls flowing through lava rock. Optionally, detour to Deildartunguhver, Europe’s most powerful hot spring, and even dip into the Krauma Baths nearby if time permits.
    Then make your way to the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, often called “Iceland in Miniature” for its diverse landscapes. Arrive in Grundarfjörður, your base for the night, located near the famous Kirkjufell Mountain—a perfect photo stop, especially at sunset.
    Expect longer stretches of driving today, but balanced by beautiful fjord views, horse-filled meadows, and lesser-known gems along the way. A relaxing dinner in Grundarfjörður is a great way to end the day.
    Day 6 (Wednesday) - Snæfellsnes peninsula - miniature Iceland
    The Snaefellsnes Peninsula is known for its rugged, natural beauty. It is home to the iconic Snæfellsjökull glacier, which inspired Jules Verne's famous novel "Journey to the Center of the Earth." The peninsula is also home to dramatic lava fields, volcanic craters, hot springs, waterfalls, and black sand beaches.
    Gatklettur, also known as the "Arch Rock," is a unique rock formation located in the southern coast of Iceland, near the town of Arnarstapi, which we are going to visit on our roadtrip.
    One of the biggest highlights of this day will be Kirkjufellfoss waterfall and its surrounding area that offer stunning views of the mountain Kirkjufell, which is one of the most photographed mountains in Iceland. The combination of the waterfall and the mountain makes for a beautiful and unique landscape.
    Lóndrangar is part of the Snæfellsjökull National Park, which is a protected nature reserve in Iceland. The Lóndrangar formation is made up of two volcanic rock pillars that rise from the sea to a height of about 75 meters. The pillars were formed by a volcanic eruption and are now home to a variety of seabirds, including puffins and guillemots.
    Optional: If time permits, we may head into Snæfellsjökull National Park for stunning glacier and volcanic views.
    Day 7 (Thursday) - Golden Circle
    Today we make your way to the Golden Circle. First stop is Þingvellir National Park, where you can walk between tectonic plates and explore the historical site. Then visit Geysir Hot Springs to see the erupting Strokkur geyser, and finish at Gullfoss, Iceland’s most famous waterfall and also a visit to Unique Green house Tomato farm where we will also lunch today.
    On the way back to Reykjavík, stop at Kerid Crater, a volcanic lake with colorful slopes. End your day with a unique dinner at Friðheimar Tomato Farm, where you can enjoy a tomato-themed meal in a warm greenhouse. Finally, drive back to Reykjavík to relax after a Full 5 Road tripping adventure covering the entire Iceland.
    Day 8 (Friday) - Exploring Reykjavik
    Today we explore Reykjavik, Iceland's vibrant capital city, that has plenty to offer visitors including visiting:

    • Hallgrimskirkja: This iconic church is one of Reykjavik's most recognizable landmarks. Visitors can take an elevator to the top of the tower for panoramic views of the city.
    • Harpa Concert Hall: This stunning glass building is home to the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra and hosts concerts and events throughout the year. The building itself is a work of art and a must-see for architecture lovers. There is also the opportunity to go to a concert in this amazing concert hall.
    • Sun Voyager: The Sun voyager is a striking and iconic sculpture located on the waterfront in Reykjavik, Iceland. It was created by Icelandic artist Jón Gunnar Árnason and completed in 1990. The sculpture is made of stainless steel and resembles a Viking ship, with its bow pointing towards the ocean.
    • Discover Perlan Museum: Perlan is an iconic building that hosts one of a kind nature exploratorium. It‘s a learning laboratory where visitors explore Icelandic nature through science and human perception. Perlan has been selected four years in a row as a Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best, placing it among the top 1% attractions worldwide.

    Norway Lofoten - An Arctic Hiking Adventure with the Midnight Sun

    Charles de Gaulle International Airport (CDG, Paris, FR

    Lofoten is one of those rare places that feels almost otherworldly. Where mountains meet the ocean, and every turn looks like a postcard.

    • Valid for this trip or any other trips available on our website.

    WHY GO?
    A road trip through Lofoten, combined with hiking, is one of the most immersive ways to experience the islands’ wild beauty. The roads themselves feel like a journey through a living painting, winding between jagged peaks that rise straight from the sea, quiet bays dotted with red fishing cabins, and stretches of white-sand beaches that look almost tropical despite the Arctic setting. Every bend reveals something new—a small harbor with drying racks of cod, a cluster of brightly painted houses reflected in still water, or a dramatic ridge line cutting against the sky. Driving here is never just about getting from one place to another; it’s about being part of the scenery as it constantly shifts around you.

    Hiking adds another dimension. While the road takes you along the shoreline and through the villages, the trails lead you up into the mountains where the views become almost surreal. A short climb might bring you to a summit where you can look down on turquoise bays, scattered islands, and the endless stretch of the Norwegian Sea.
    WHAT ARE SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS?

    • Henningsvær Village: A picturesque fishing village spread across small islands, known for its red rorbuer cabins, vibrant harbor, art galleries, and the famous football field surrounded by the sea.
    • Svolværgeita (The Svolvær Goat): One of Lofoten’s most iconic rock formations rising above Svolvær. This dramatic twin-horn pinnacle is a legendary landmark admired by climbers and visitors alike.
    • Festvågtind Hike: A short but steep hike above Henningsvær offering incredible panoramic views of turquoise waters, rugged peaks, and scattered island landscapes.
    • Haukland Beach: Often ranked among Norway’s most beautiful beaches, with white sand and crystal-clear turquoise water framed by dramatic Arctic mountains.
    • Mannen Viewpoint Hike: A scenic climb starting from Haukland Beach that rewards hikers with sweeping views over Haukland, Uttakleiv Beach, and the Norwegian Sea.
    • Ryten and Kvalvika Beach Viewpoint: One of Lofoten’s most famous hikes. From the summit of Ryten you’ll look down onto the remote Kvalvika Beach surrounded by cliffs and wild Arctic nature.
    • Reine Village: Often called the most beautiful village in Lofoten, with traditional red fishermen’s cabins set against dramatic granite peaks and deep blue fjords.
