The Grapevine's take

Kerlingarfjöll

One of the largest geothermal areas in Europe, hidden in the rhyolite mountains between Langjökull and Hofsjökull off the Kjölur route. The walk into Hveradalir, the hot-spring valley, crosses steaming fumaroles, boiling mud and hillsides in ochre, rust and green, with small glaciers still sitting on the peaks; Grapevine named it a Best of South Iceland must-see and called its hot springs and mud pools magic incarnate. Down in Ásgarður valley, Highland Base has a restaurant, rooms and the Highland Baths on the river bank: a hot pool, cold plunge, sauna and a bar. Summer only, and the F347 spur wants a proper 4x4; a day tour from Reykjavík runs June to August, with Gullfoss on the way in and Geysir on the way home.
