Hverfjall – an enormous crater by its dimensions, where you can walk along its rim (the walk around the crater takes about an hour). On one side, you can enjoy the view into its depths, while looking outward, you can admire the beauty of Lake Mývatn, the Dimmuborgir lava field, the Skútustaðagígar pseudocraters, and the entire beautiful area of Lake Mývatn. At the base, right at the point where you can start your climb to the crater, you will also find restrooms.
The Hverfjall crater is located directly east of Lake Mývatn. From route 848, turn off at this point (GPS: 65.610892, -16.917781) onto an unpaved road. After about a kilometer, you will reach an intersection; turn left and continue on. You will now be directly below the Hverfjall crater. After another 1200 meters, you will reach a parking lot from where you can set off on a hike around the crater.
Respect nature and stay on marked paths.
