Kerlingarfjöll is a mesmerizing mountain range located in the central highlands of Iceland. Known for its stunning and otherworldly landscapes, it is often referred to as a hidden gem of the country. The area is characterized by colorful rhyolite mountains, geothermal hot springs, and vast stretches of untouched wilderness. Hiking trails offer breathtaking views of the surrounding valleys, glaciers, and volcanic peaks. Kerlingarfjöll is a paradise for nature enthusiasts, photographers, and those seeking a unique and off-the-beaten-path experience in Iceland.
The geothermal activity in this region creates a surreal and otherworldly landscape, with bubbling hot springs, steaming vents, and colorful mineral deposits. The vibrant hues of red, yellow, and green that adorn the mountainsides are a result of the geothermal activity and the unique composition of the rocks. This geothermal area offers visitors the opportunity to witness the raw power of nature up close and to soak in natural hot springs, providing a truly unforgettable and rejuvenating experience.
The road leading to it are unpaved (F-road) and challenging to get there, requires a 4x4 vehicle driving on F-road. Even during the summer, weather conditions change quickly, and roads may become impassable due to heavy rain or snowfall.
Nice trip to this amazing country! Be happy back home safely! Thanks for dropping by my dear Flickr friends!
