Itinerary
Our first stop will be Goðafoss waterfall also known as waterfall of the Gods. Attraction is less than 5 minutes from a parking lot. There is also small shop and free toilet nearby.
This stop is called pseudo craters, b beautiful lava formations on the Myvatn lake. It is a unique place that can bee seen only on few places on earth. Attraction is next to the parking lot. Nearby is a small shop, visitor center and free toilets.
Beautiful and unique lava formations. This place was a lake in the past, before lava destroyed it. Now you can walk on the lake's bottom and enjoy lava formations. In this place we will do a small hike, but there is also option to stay in small restaurant/shop and enjoy the view from above. Toilet is free if you will buy something in restaurant.
Another unique place - a hot blue geothermal water running in the cave between two tectonic plates. It is possible to go inside the cave explore old geothermal baths. You can also stand between two tectonic plates: Eurasian and North American and see the big crack running along Icelandic country.
A place where the shallow groundwater that flows next to the Krafla volcano system is heated and rises to the surface. You can see steam vents, hot bubbling mud pots and lots of colourful mineral spots on the ground. There is a sulphurous smell in the area, similar to the smell of rotten eggs.
The most powerful waterfall in Europe by volume. You can feel it's full power in early summer when all the surrounding snow from the mountains is melting. At this place we will do a small hike from the car park. On the way we can also see another waterfall called Selfoss.
A short stop before the road back to Akureyri. You can see the Nature Myvatn Baths, use the free toilet and buy a snack in the shop.
