View of Geysir Geothermal Area

Highlight • Viewpoint

The circular path above the geysers is not maintained in winter, but is highly recommended because of the great view.
From the 'summit' you also have a wide view of the neighboring valley.

First and eventful day of our Iceland vacation. We started with Geysir (Gullfoss and Pingvellir followed on the same day). I was here 10 years ago and a lot has changed since then, such as beautiful footbridges and good access to a vantage point. Class.
Only the wind was so stormy that the rising fountain was blown away directly and …

A visit to the Haukadalur Geothermal Area is always part of an Iceland vacation. Because that's where the geyser is located, after which all the geysers in the world bear her name.
