Hverir is a geothermal area located on the Námafjall mountain in the Krafla volcano fissure zone. Situated off the Ring Road close to Lake Myvatn, it's an easy-to-reach must-see destination that should not be missed. The area features bubbling mud pools, hissing fumaroles, and ground colored by minerals, all filled with a distinct rotten egg smell. At Hverir visitors will find panoramic views of earthy deserts and steaming vents backdropped by picturesque mountains.

Adventurers can also discover the otherworldly beauty from above via the relatively easy 2.5 km loop hiking trail to Namafjall Mountain. The unique and remarkable Hverir Geothermal Area offers an unforgettable experience unlike any other!
