🏔️ Nearby Sights

Notable places within about 40 km — shown as straight-line (air) distance, not travel distance

Dettifoss 23 km away (air distance)

The falls lie some distance off the Ring Road along a gravel or paved side road, depending on which bank you visit, so check road conditions, especially in winter. Wear waterproof clothes and stay behind the safety barriers. Smaller waterfalls such as Selfoss are only a short walk upstream.

Hverir (Námafjall) Geothermal Field 29 km away (air distance)

The field lies on a volcanic fissure zone, where hot rock close to the surface heats groundwater to boiling point. Sulphur was mined in this area for centuries, and the mineral deposits give the ground its colours. Nearby is the Krafla volcanic system, and the region is dotted with craters, lava fields and steam.

Mývatn Nature Baths 31 km away (air distance)

Bring a swimsuit and towel, or rent them on site, and book ahead in busy periods. A relaxing soak takes an hour or two. The surrounding Mývatn area has more to see: the Hverir mud pots, Dimmuborgir lava formations and Skútustaðagígar pseudocraters are all close by. Evening visits in autumn and winter can bring northern lights overhead.
