Hafnir-Hafnaberg.  This hike starts at the parking lot by the road and takes about 40 minutes.  A short distance from the Hafnir Cliff is the symbolic Bridge between the Continents, which can be crossed and the hike continued to the nearby craters, Stampar.  The latest eruption in this area took place in the middle of the 13th century.

The Reykjanes Area.  There are several hills and low mountains in this area which offer excellent panoramic views on a fine day (Mt Skalafell, Mt Haleyjarbunga, Mt Syrfell).  A hike from this area via the crater area Eldvorp to the Blue Lagoon is relatively easy.

The Reykjanes High Temperature Area.  All together there are five high temperature areas on the Reykjanes Peninsula, and the one closest to the lighthouse is among the most powerful of the country.  Visitors enjoying this natural wonder have to be extremely careful within it.  The most renowned hot spring of the area is “Gunnuhver”.
