The valley can be left on a gravel path or ascent at the end of the valley to continue the hike. It offers a breathtaking view of the steaming valley. Alternatively, this path can also be used as an entrance to the valley if you arrive via the nearby highland road.

Reykjadalur Hot Spring River

Highlight • River

The bathing area is beautifully situated between two plank banks. Here you can find a suitable place to bathe. The higher the warmer. Do you think it's too hot? You have a cold inflow via a second watercourse. This way you can play with the temperature.

Day 3 Tour 1.
After an off-road adventure in the morning, we drove to a remote parking lot at lunchtime. From there, we began our hike through breathtaking nature. Our destination was the Reykjadalur Hot Spring Thermal River. There, surrounded by dozens of other people, we spent some time in typical Icelandic thermal water. A wonderful and warm experience!
