This huge mountain is situated just outside Selfoss. This is a huge and impressive mountain. If you want, you can drive partly around it. It is really nice to see the different kind of shades. Especially when there are clouds and sun.

Hveragerði Geothermal Area is in the middle of Hveragerði. You can see several hot springs and fumaroles. If you are lucky you can see one of the springs bubble up, which I was told happens only once a day.

Do a day trip driving around the "Golden Circle". We stayed overnights in Hveragerði, started driving around 9:30am and got back to Selfoss around 5:30pm. Total driving time was about 3 1/2 hours, so we had plenty of time for each stop including some hiking. One of the roads was unpaved, but our small rental car was fine, no need for 4x4. See separate tips on each of the following places we stopped that day:
Kerið Crater
Gullfoss
Geysir
Þingvellir

When you are in Selfoss, you can walk along the river Olfus. This river is massive. And there is a strong current in this river. You will have nice views to the other side of the river.

You can stop by Kerið Crater along the way to Gullfoss and Geysir from Hveragerði or Selfoss. The parking is signposted and is right next to the top of the crater.

Hveragerði is a very nice quiet town just 15 minutes drive from Selfoss. A number of hiking trails are in the valley north of town.

Q: How many people does that restaurant near Selfoss seat? I am leading a group of 25 people to Skalholt.
A: Do you mean perhaps Gullfoss? Selfoss is a rather large town with lots of restaurants.
