Reykjadalur Hot Spring River

Highlight • River

The bathing area is beautifully situated between two plank banks. Here you can find a suitable place to bathe. The higher the warmer. Do you think it's too hot? You have a cold inflow via a second watercourse. This way you can play with the temperature.

View of Reykjadalur Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

A beautiful circular trail above the swimming area, which, if conditions are right, is absolutely easy and well signposted. There are a few steep climbs, but the trails are always well-maintained.

Reykjadalur Geothermal Area

Highlight • Natural Monument

Constant bubbling and hissing, colors that seem otherworldly and a slight H2S smell in the air - that's when you understand where all the legends come from.

View of Reykjadalur Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

The valley can be left on a gravel path or ascent at the end of the valley to continue the hike. It offers a breathtaking view of the steaming valley. Alternatively, this path can also be used as an entrance to the valley if you arrive via the nearby highland road.
