Grabrok Crater

Grabrok is a crater formed due to a fissure eruption almost three thousand years ago. The fissure that initially opened during this eruption created Grabrok and two adjacent craters that can be seen from the top. In addition, you can see from above the massive lava field covering about seven square kilometers due to the eruption. Climbing to the top is relatively easy as the crater is only 170 meters (560 ft) high. There is a good path with steps leading to the top. Grabrok Crater is one of the natural attractions near Iceland's ring road and has been popular with Icelanders for decades.

Hraunfossar Lava Waterfall

Hraunfossar (meaning "lava waterfall") was a series of streams emerging from the Hallmundarhraun lava field, appearing as a long 900-meter chain of cascades feeding the blue Hvita River. This feature of springs coming out of lava tubes and jagged grooves within the lava made this waterfall unique.

Krauma

Krauma Spa (optional entrance fee) was renovated in November 2017, so it is very new and modern. Experience nature from its core by bathing in the geothermal baths at Krauma. The hot water used in Krauma Spa originates in Europe’s most powerful hot spring, Deildartunguhver, at a temperature of 100°C (212°F). To achieve the perfect bathing temperature, we mix the hot water with cold water from Rauðsgil, which originates in the glacier Ok, the most miniature glacier in Iceland.Krauma offers five relaxing natural geothermal baths, a cold tub to get your blood circulation going, two calming saunas, and a relaxation room where you can rest by the fireplace while listening to soothing music.
