Hveravellir (The Hot Spring Fields) is a very interesting low temperature area at the
northern edge of the lava field Kjalhraun. It is a popular stopover with tourist huts, a
meteorological watch (occupied the whole year) and a man made bathing pool. The old route across the lava field continued
through the thermal area, which is also frequently referred to in the Sagas. Attraction:
The
Bony Mound.
The hot spring area has been protected since 1965 and people
are kindly asked to stay on the boardwalk across it.
The thermal activity can also be seen in the lava field, where there
are steaming chasms. The Bus Company SBA-Nordurleid offers scheduled trips from the south and the north every day during summer.
