Hverfjall crater hike
Hverfjall crater hike
Duration: 1.5-2 hours. Difficulty: easy ascent and descent of 160m. Can be windy and dusty. Interest: great views in all directions. Start/End: from road 1 on the west shore of Lake Myvatn 1.5km north of Dimmuborgir, take a track through a gate to Hverfjall (also spelled Hverfell).
Where the road splits at the foot of the crater, bear left and continue to a car park.
From the car park follow the trail up the side of the crater. When you reach the top, bear either left or right for the circular walk around it. Descend by the same route to return to your car.
