Ablauf
German-speaking Shore Excursion to Góðafoss & Mývatn from Akureyri in Small Group
Mývatn is Iceland's fourth largest lake and surrounded by various natural wonders. The area of Mývatn is characterized by volcanism, there are bizarre lava formations, craters and hot springs. Their first stop here are the pseudo-craters in Skútustagigar. These unusual geological formations were formed 2300 years ago when hot lava flowed over damp ground, then the water evaporated abruptly and hurled up the lava.
Next, head to Dimmuborgir (or Dark Castles), where you can walk amid some of Iceland's most fascinating lava formations. According to legend, the 13 Icelandic Santa Clauses also live in Dimmuborgir.
Grjotagjá, considered the home of an outlaw in the 18th century, was used as a local hot spring until the 1970s. Although it is too warm to bathe after the Krafla eruptions, the caves are very popular due to the deep blue color of the water and its mystical surroundings, especially since they became one of the filming locations of the series Game of Thrones.
To get to the colourful Solfatars of Hverarönd, cross the Námaskarð mountain pass. Here you can experience the power of nature amid sulphurous cracks in the cracked earth, steaming fumaroles and bubbling mud pools.
The last volcanic eruption was in the Krafla area in 1984/85. There is a large geothermal power plant here and the crater lake Víti impresses with its turquoise water.
