The Grapevine's take

Borgarfjörður

If you turn right just before Borgarnes, you’ll come upon a less-traveled fjord that’s rich with sights. This is Borgarfjörður, a lava land filled with rivers, streams, and some of the most awe-inspiring waterfalls in the country. Don’t miss the powerful Deildartunguhver hot spring, the historical town of the Reykhólt, the impressive Hraunfossar and Barnafoss waterfalls, the top-notch restaurant at Hotel Húsafell, and, of course, the Langjökull glacier.

On The Reykjavík Grapevine's Best of list. See the whole list.

About this tour

Trip information
HRAUNFOSSAR, HVÍTÁ, BARNAFOSS, DEILDARTUNGUHVER, SNORRASTOFA AND SNORRALAUG
Borgarfjörður, Meet your local guide at the hotel at 09:00. We will head towards Hraunfossar waterfalls where a series of waterfalls run over the side of the Hvítá river canyon from Barnafoss (Children fall).

From there we will continue to the most powerful hot spring named Deildartunguhver t180 liters per second and the water is about about 97°celsius. After exploring Deildartunguhver it’s ideal to have a lunch break.

After lunch we will visit Snorrastofa museum in Reykholt there we will view the exhibit of Snorri’s writings as well as seeing the modern church and Snorralaug which is the oldest man made construction and protected by the National Museum.

On our way back will meet a local family that informs us about living in the country side and we get to see their beautiful horses. We will return back in Reykjavík about 5pm.
