Berserkjahraun Lava Fields

Marvel at the raw beauty of the Berserkjahraun lava fields, a quintessential Icelandic landscape formed over 4,000 years ago. This rugged terrain, steeped in Viking lore, has featured prominently in Icelandic sagas and offers an authentic glimpse into the country’s volcanic past.

Kirkjufell Mountain

Kirkjufell is Iceland’s most iconic mountain. Paired with the nearby Kirkjufellsfoss waterfall, this stunning peak offers an ideal photography spot. With well-maintained pathways, visitors can easily explore and take in the mountain’s unique beauty from all angles.

Famous for its role in Jules Verne’s Journey to the Center of the Earth, the park’s dramatic landscapes feature rugged coastlines, ancient lava fields, and abundant wildlife. With hiking trails and fascinating cultural sites, this area is a must-see for nature and history lovers alike.

Dritvik and Djupalonssandur

Duration: 30 minutes

Visit the historic black sand beach of Djúpalónssandur, once a bustling fishing area. Today, the sea is calm, with boats long since departed. What remains are the eerie remnants of a British trawler wrecked on the shore, along with several "lifting stones." These stones were once used to test the strength of aspiring fishermen—now it’s your turn to try and see if you have what it takes!

Ytri Tunga Beach & Seal Watching
