LANDMANNALAUGAR

About Landmannalaugar

Located within the Fjallabak Nature Reserve, Landmannalaugar is a sweeping area of frozen lava formed during the volcanic eruption of 1477. The rocks at the lava field can be seen reflecting the sun’s rays in shades of yellow, green, pink, and blue, offering an ethereal sight. A number of geothermal pools litter the rocks at varying heights, offering a therapeutic dip to tourists. The area is also home to some of the most aesthetic hiking trails in Iceland, riddled with waterfalls, gorges, and caves, making it a must-visit destination on your Iceland tour.
