You don't have to drive through the fords. In front of it is a parking lot and for pedestrians there is a bridge to the hut where it starts.

We arrived in Landmannalaugar via road 32, F 26, F 208, F 224.
You can only get to Landmannalaugar with 4x4 all-wheel drive vehicles.
Since this year you need to reserve a parking space for a fee (approx. 3 euros per day).
To stay overnight at the campsite you have to cross 2 fords, but not as a day trip.
