The jewel of the central highlands, where rhyolite mountains glow in bands of colour and a natural warm stream waits at the end of the famous Laugavegur trail. The soak after a day among those peaks is unforgettable.
What to expect
A shallow, naturally warm stream beside the campsite, surrounded by extraordinary mountains and lava. Facilities are basic and seasonal.
Getting there
Reached by highland bus or super jeep in summer only; the road requires river crossings, so go prepared or guided.
Best time to visit
Summer (roughly late June to early September), when the highland roads are open.
