The tour starts at the Skarfabakki cruise terminal
Hveragerdi
The small town of Hveragerði is located in a very tectonically active area. There are numerous hot springs in and around the city, which are used, among other things, to heat the numerous greenhouses.
There is a stop at the local shopping center. There, a fissure created during a 6.2 magnitude earthquake in 2008 is visited.
On a video, you can clearly see the effects of the earthquake. In an earthquake simulator (chargeable), you can experience what the earthquake felt like.
Selfoss, Hella & Hvolsvöllur
The city of Selfoss is the largest city in Iceland that is not located by the sea and is the upper center of southern Iceland.
The bus travels over the suspension bridge over the Ölfusá River and on the ring road leading through the village eastwards through the small town of Hella and on to Hvólsvöllur.
Seljalandsfoss
The 60m high Seljalandsfoss waterfall offers the special feature that you can walk around it on a trail.
Forest Boss
At the 60m high Skógafoss waterfall, you can get very close to the falling water masses, but you should wear good rain gear.
You might even be brave enough to try to find the box full of gold that the Viking Þrasi Þórólfsson is said to have hidden behind the waterfall.

Skógafoss is one of Iceland's most impressive waterfalls and has served as a backdrop in many films and series.
Sunheimajokull
The Sólheimajökull glacier is part of the mighty Mýrdalsjökull glacier and is partly black due to the ash of past volcanic eruptions.
The glacier tongue has become extremely smaller in recent years as a result of global warming, by more than a kilometer in the last 10 years alone.
Dyrhólaey
Dyrhólaey (Keyhole Island) is Iceland's southernmost mainland point and rises up to 115m above sea level.
In the summer months, you can see various species of seabirds here, including cute puffins.
The distinctive large hole in one of the rocks gave the landed-up former island its name.
From the upper level at the lighthouse, you have a great panoramic view of the black beaches and the countryside with the two glacial volcanoes Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull.
Reynisfjara
The black stone beach near Reynisfjara with the upstream Reynisdrangar rocks, which, according to legend, are a petrified troll ship, is a worthwhile stop with the distinctive basalt columns and the cave.
However, you have to watch out for the monster waves that occur here, which can unexpectedly reach much higher up the beach. It is therefore essential to pay attention to existing warning lights and associated warning signs.
