In this valley is a hot spring where you can dip in and just enjoy the unspoiled nature landscape right in front of you.
Reykjadalur, which means “Smokey valley”, is a spectacular place next to the village of Hveragerði. It is also considered as a hidden gem of the south because it is less explored, though it is quite easy to locate.
Reykjadalur is a part of Hengill geothermal area and it plays one of the most important rules; to provide Reykjavik’s hot water, steam and electricity.
Imagine just sitting in a hot spring with some steam coming from all over and when you lean back on the edges you can actually view the magnificent show of Mother Nature. So solemn and away from sounds and lights from the busy city. Just pure nature and peacefulness.
We park the car and hike for just about one hour to the spot where we undress and put on our swimming equipment. No dressing rooms, just a shelter to hide while you undress and put your clothes back on, so you better remember to bring a towel.

Bjarnarfell is a 750m high mountain right at the doorstep of Langjökull and Jarlhettur. Upon reaching the peak you are welcomed by a breathtaking view over the incredible landscape below.
This is a long day trip or about 14-16 hours total. There are 195 km between Reykjavík and Landmannalaugar, or about 3 hours by car. We walk in and up Halldórsgil and then walk down to Jökulgil.
Vörðufell is a small mountain located just south and east of the White River next to Iða, which is the very same water running in Gullfoss waterfall. Vörðufell is a triangular shaped mountain and is located both in Biskupstungur and Skeiðum municipality.
The 25 km Fimmvörðuháls Trek is without a doubt one of the most popular amongst both locals and travelers alike and has been for centuries. Hike between glaciers, volcanoes and stunning nature in the Icelandic highlands.
Högnhöfði is a majestic mountain in the Golden circle route. Reaching up 1002 m, it is quite the challenge. The name implies the head of a male cat and you can see the ears of the cat when looking in the west direction, standing on the peak of Högnhöfði.
This tour includes a lot of walking on a glacier and associated safety equipment is required. It is important to keep in mind that Snæfellsjökull is a fairly comfortable mountain to travel but has its dangers in poor visibility, such as cracks and falls from the top.
A bus leaves Reykjavík at 8. We drive into Kerlingarfjöll and go for a demanding hike and easier hike. After the hike we go to a hot pool in Kerlingarfjöll. It’s also ideal to have a look at the restaurant and get a waffle and so on.
