Hverfjall

Sept.24 We paid parking ISK1000 and went up the volcano Hverfjall @8AM with stunning blue sky, but with an icy blowing wind. You needed to watch your steps! We did 2/3 around the crater head and went down the stairs to find the path to Dimmuborgir.

Incredible spot! One of my favorites in Iceland… quick (10 mins or less) but steep hike up with a super cool view.

After a short climb to the edge of the volcano, you have a breathtaking (because the wind blows so strongly) view of the crater and the surrounding area.

Very cool looking. Path is obvious but it was very windy and slightly dangerous when we went. It seems like you are supposed to pay for parking and the bathroom, but it didn't seem like anyone was paying yet. Only took 20mins to get up and down.

Beautiful volcano. There is no cost for parking! Don't let the parking signs deceive you; parking fee is entirely optional, with the exception of the €2 for the toilet. Donating is welcome as it helps keep the volcano crater accessible to everyone. (I didn't for the reasons that will be discussed later). If you have a normal car like I had then I would advise you to drive carefully because the road leading to this location is not paved and is extremely bumpy, filled with puddles, ice and has LOTS of potholes . Additionally, I would strongly advise putting metal spikes on your footwear because the 40-degree hike up to the crater during WINTER is quite dangerous. I had to walk like a penguin most of the time because it was WINDY and the ice was slippery. Highly recommend using the right hand rocky side of the trail to walk up and down the crater as it makes the hike more manageable. Fun fact: the darker the ice, the more slippery it is. 12/03/2024

Parking payable, very good toilet at the parking. Nice view from top and nice walk o n top.

It is a 20 minutes walk one way to the top, people coming up for a good view of the smoky town. Of course it is not a really crater but how it looks really impressive us the powerful of the eruption at the first place.

Amazing crater. There are wonderful views to the lake and other mountains from the top. You have to pay online for the parking. On the parking lot there are very clean toilets and you can pay for them by credit card. Road to the parking is unpaved, but in a very good condition. Every car can go there.
