Crater and cave walk

Crater and cave walk

From Budir you can walk to Budaklettur, an 88m hillock that is actually the side of the mossy crater that produced the lava flow surrounding it.

Just west of it is Budahellir, a 40m long lava tube. The 4km route follows the Klettsgata trail, marked with posts; please keep to the trail as the vegetation here is fragile.

Allow 2.5-3 hours for the return trip. It’s not recommended to do the walk in winter as snow can conceal holes and fissures in the lava and the path is not obvious.
