"Circular" hiking trails in Iceland?
In September I will be travelling to Iceland, and renting a car there to make a trip around most of the country. One of the main activities will be hiking, and I am looking to do one hiking trip that takes around 4 days to complete (walking around 15-20 km per day). I have been looking up quite some trails, but all of them seem to go from point A to point B, whereas I would like to return at point A, so that I'll end up where I left my car. I am absolutely not keen on relying on public transport or hitch-hiking to get back where my car is.
Do you know of any hiking trails that are suitable for this? So far I am having no luck.
