Welcome to a geothermal paradise tucked away in the Highlands, a place of almost alien beauty with its rainbow-streaked rhyolite mountains and vast lava fields. The real magic here is on the trails; you can choose from a variety of hikes, from a leisurely hour-long walk to a challenging all-day trek up the stunning Bláhnúkur or Brennisteinsalda for unforgettable panoramic views. After a day of exploring, there's nothing better than a relaxing soak in the natural hot spring near the campsite. Just a heads-up, reaching this remote gem requires a 4x4 vehicle as it's only accessible via F-roads, which are typically open from mid-June to early September.
