  • Around Reykholt

    Reykholt is a small town in the western region of Iceland. The area around the town is primarily famous for its huge geothermal activity, which has contributed to the development of horticulture and greenhouse farming there.

    If you’re looking for a pleasant dip in the thermal waters, be sure to visit the Krauma complex – a luxurious geothermal spa. A great addition to this attraction will also be a visit to the nearby world’s strongest hot spring – Deildartunguhver.

    However, the Reykholt area is not only hot springs. Among the interesting attractions you should include on your itinerary are a climb to the top of the Grabrok volcano, a trip to the popular Víðgelmir lava cave, as well as many other places! Explore them and make sure you don’t miss the most beautiful spots in Iceland during your trip.
