In the centre of Iceland, on a mountain road called Kjalvegur, there is a unspoiled and protected area called Hveravellir (hot spring plains). Wich is a popular tourist place all the year round.

Kjalvegur usually opens in the middle of June and it remains open until September or October, but it depends on the weather.

 

Hveravellir is one of the many amazing natural resources in Iceland. Its positioned between two glaciers, Langjökull and Hofsjökull. The hot spring area, natural hot pool, glaciers and magnificiant view are the main attractions.

 

At Hveravellir there are both steam and water hot springs. Amongst them there are Eyvindahver (Eyvindur´s hot spring), Bláhver (blue hot spring) and on picture Öskurhólshver (roaring mound hot spring). Eyvindahver draws its name from Fjalla-Eyvindur, who was a famous outlaw that survived twenty years in the rough wilderness. He lived about two years with his wife at Hveravellir and still today you can find Eyvindarhellir (Eyvindur´s cave) and Eyvindarrétt (Eyvindur´s pen where he kept his sheeps).

 

After a long day of taking picture you can relax in the natural hot pool, which is placed near one the huts.
