Reykjadalur Hot Spring Thermal River

Reykjadalur Hot Spring Thermal River is a unique geothermal river in Iceland, where hot streams merge with a cold mountain river, allowing outdoor bathing. You can float along the current, and the water gets hotter as you go upstream. The surrounding landscape is quiet and dramatic: steaming mud pots and bright yellow sulfur patches line your path. This classic otherworldly landscape is cloaked in clouds of steam rising from the green slopes. Wooden walkways along the river make changing easier, and nesting birds can be seen in the warm cliffs. On the return, hikers enjoy a view of a deep canyon with a waterfall.
