Reykjadalur is that magical hike where you get rewarded with a steaming hot river to soak in at the end. đïž The name literally means "Steam Valley," and youâll see why â the whole trail is dotted with bubbling hot springs and rising mist. Itâs about a 45-minute to an hour hike from the parking lot, with gorgeous views of mountains, waterfalls, and valleys along the way.
At the top, thereâs a section of the river where you can bathe. Just find your perfect spot â some parts are warmer than others, so you might need to move around a bit. đ Itâs like natureâs hot tub!
Bring a towel and swimsuit, but be ready for a quick change in the open (no changing rooms here). Also, keep in mind, the trail can be muddy in parts, but the soak at the end? Totally worth it. đ
