- Reykholt: Visit the historic site of Reykholt, once home to Snorri Sturluson, one of Iceland’s most significant mediaeval figures. Explore the cultural heritage and learn about Iceland’s rich literary history.
- Viðgelmir Cave:
- Delve into the depths of Viðgelmir, one of Iceland’s largest and most impressive lava caves. This guided tour takes you through a subterranean world adorned with stunning lava formations and ice sculptures, offering a glimpse into the volcanic activity that shaped Iceland’s unique landscape.
- Krauma Geothermal Baths (Optional Lunch):
- Relax and rejuvenate at the Krauma Geothermal Baths, where you can soak in natural hot springs sourced from Deildartunguhver. Enjoy the serene atmosphere and stunning views. For those who choose the optional lunch, indulge in a meal at the Krauma Restaurant, featuring fresh, local ingredients and Icelandic culinary traditions.
- Grábrók crater & Glanni waterfall
- Grábrók is a volcanic crater located in western Iceland, near the town of Bifröst. It is part of a larger volcanic system formed around 3,000 years ago and offers an easy hiking path that leads to stunning views of the surrounding lava fields and nearby mountains. The crater is covered with moss and provides a great vantage point for observing the rugged Icelandic landscape.
- Glanni, on the other hand, is a picturesque waterfall situated not far from Grábrók, along the Norðurá River. It is believed to be the home of mythical elves or trolls according to local folklore. The waterfall cascades down several levels, creating a beautiful and serene spot for visitors.
