  1. 1Reykjadalur hot spring river

    Hot spring, Hveragerði · Stay on the marked path: some of the hot pools beside it are boiling. Ice makes the path slippery in the colder months. The trail is closed at times for mud, thaw and erosion.

    Hot springs in the Hengill volcanic area warm a river in the valley above Hveragerði, so the water gets warmer the further upstream you sit.
