Das Team, das dieses Ausbruchsgebiet seit der ersten Eruption 2021 führt, besteht aus Menschen aus Grindavík und Keflavík, die selbst erlebt haben, was passiert ist. Der Fagradalsfjall ist zwischen 2021 und 2025 wiederholt ausgebrochen, und das Gelände zeigt es: frische Lava, dampfender Fels, Krater, die es vor ein paar Jahren noch nicht gab. Manches, worauf du gehst, ist erst im Juli 2025 entstanden. Die Wanderung ist hin und zurück 8 km lang, 5 Meilen, mit etwa 300 Höhenmetern. Reykjavík ist eine Stunde entfernt, und deshalb ist das einer der wenigen Orte der Erde, an denen du die unmittelbaren Folgen eines Ausbruchs an einem Vormittag erreichst. Die Gruppen bleiben klein, und eine kleine isländische Überraschung ist inklusive. Eine Sache solltest du bei der Buchung richtig machen. Die Option mit Abholung in Reykjavík enthält drei Stopps, die die Option mit eigenem Auto nicht hat: die Fahrt über die Halbinsel Reykjanes, einen UNESCO Global Geopark; das Geothermalgebiet Seltún mit seinem kochenden Schlamm; und den Kleifarvatn, einen der tiefsten Seen Islands. Wenn du selbst fährst, triffst du die Gruppe am Ausgangspunkt, und du bekommst die Wanderung. Die Route führt außerdem an der evakuierten Zone bei Grindavík vorbei, wo die Ausbrüche eine lebendige Stadt vertrieben haben. Die Guides kommen von dort, du hörst also einen Bericht aus erster Hand und nicht aus zweiter.

What's included

  • Hiking Poles
  • Crampons and Headlamps if needed (Winter)

Reiseverlauf

Die Karte konnte nicht geladen werden. Bitte versuchen Sie es gleich erneut.

  1. Víkurbraut 58B, Grindavík

    SELF-DRIVE OPTION, if you have a car: the meeting point is at 10:45 am in Grindavík, in the parking area next to the Geo Hotel. The former Netto supermarket has no visible signage left, so use the Geo Hotel as the reference. Do not wait inside the hotel.

  2. Reykjanes

    The drive starts across the Reykjanes Peninsula, a UNESCO Global Geopark, with geothermal activity, lava fields and volcanic craters through it. The comparison people reach for is the surface of Mars. This part is included for guests who choose the Reykjavík pick-up. On the self-drive option you meet at the Fagradalsfjall trailhead instead.

  3. Grindavik

    Through the evacuated eruption zone near Grindavík, where the recent activity has changed the ground and interrupted ordinary life. This is the part of the day that shows what an eruption does to the people living next to it, not only to the landscape.

  4. Fagradalsfjall Volcano

    Fagradalsfjall is the most active volcano in Iceland at the moment, and the eruptions that ran from 2021 to 2025 left fresh lava flows, ground that still steams, and new craters. The hike is 5 miles, 8 km, round trip, with about 984 feet, 300 metres, of ascent. Some of the terrain formed days or months ago. It sits an hour from Reykjavík, which makes it one of the few places anywhere to see the immediate aftermath of an eruption safely and up close.

  5. Take a short walk through the vibrant and steamy Seltún…

    A short walk through the Seltún geothermal area: boiling mud pools, fumaroles, and mineral deposits in colours that look artificial. It is a sharp contrast with the lava fields nearby. Included for guests who choose the Reykjavík pick-up. Self-drive participants join the group at the Fagradalsfjall trailhead. Weather permitting.

  6. Kleifarvatn Lake

    A stop at Kleifarvatn, one of the deepest lakes in Iceland, between volcanic hills and black sand shores. A short stop, for photographs. Included for guests who select the Reykjavík pick-up. Self-driving participants meet the group at the Fagradalsfjall trailhead. Weather permitting.

  7. Víkurbraut 58B, Grindavík

While the volcano area is publicly accessible, joining a guided tour is a personal choice made for added safety, local knowledge, and deeper context. In the case of an active eruption, the itinerary may be adjusted to prioritize access to the current eruption site and main viewing areas. Although we may follow the same trail used by others, this remains a fully guided experience.
