נמצא במרכז הרמה האיסלנדית מחייב הגעה עם רכב שטח. עצירה נפלאה, מזנון במקום ובגיכה עם מים חמים

Definitely worth visiting and unique to see. A great visit later in the evening, when it is much quieter. During the day it is busy here and finding a spot is a struggle. It is a unique experience and the wait is rewarded.
