This is an incredible place to visit if you want to get the feel of real Iceland or you’re into geology, but it’s not an easy drive to get to this middle-of-nowhere point, you must have a 4x4 car and neither it has an easy access, you need proper waterproof shoes, walk carefully and expect a ton of orange mud sticking to your boots and pants. Already the start of the hike is a very steep climb down muddy “stairs” and as someone with heights fear I struggled a bit but it was worth it to get down to the river. We didn’t do a proper circle, just walked around the bottom mostly but still spent easily an hour. It has the coolest loo at the parking lot in the triangle hut, first we didn’t even notice it was a loo :D Also, expect it to smell a lot, the sulfur stench is really strong here.

One of the most amazing places on the world. You can have a walk in the steam and admire this geothermal area. And the colors are so intensive. It’s quite cold and can be rainy and cloudy take some warm and waterproof cloths. It took us quite long to get there, the road is not very good and you drive quite slow.

What an incredible experience. It was a rough 2 hour drive to Kerlingarfjoll without any river crossings but once you are there, take the parking which is right next to the hike. The hike itself was incredible but fingers crossed for sunny weather. We were there when it was both windy (24-41kmph) and rainy so the hike was grueling and one of the toughest we had done but the scenery was incredible. If we had to do it again, we would only go on a sunny day so make sure to check the weather properly and fingers crossed it won’t change! We chose the hveradalir hike which gives you the most changes in scenery and the ending is very rewarding and most beautiful.

No word can describe the place, just other worldly from the moment you start driving road 35, the 4 hr hike and the breathtaking geothermal geology at the end.

Beautiful landscape! Trails (and the last bit of the road) were very muddy until the afternoon but no snow at all.

Stunning place. Proper shoes recommended especially during snowy weather.

Very impressive, stunning and the most unusual place in Iceland and in the whole of Europe. The atmosphere is jaw-dropping. It's like a different planet. We were there in foggy weather, but it didn't ruin the magic and mystery of this place. This place is an absolute must!

Breathtaking place. Definitely worthy the complicated ride.
