This unique pearl of the interior is situated in a valley between colorful, steep mountains at the high and dark edge of the rhyolite lava field Laugahraun. The surroundings of Landmannalaugar are too colorful & magnificent to describe accurately with words. This is the most visited area in the Icelandic Highlands and a must-see. The area is always accessible most part of the year by Super Jeeps on special tours. Many hot and cold springs create a bathing warm brook, where people bath throughout the entire year.
