Year-round; summer is best for the Reykjadalur hot-spring river hike.

A geothermal town of greenhouses and hot springs, with the Reykjadalur hot-river hike nearby.

Hveragerði sits in a steaming geothermal valley just off the Ring Road east of Reykjavík, so hot underground that residents cook bread in the earth and grow vegetables year-round in greenhouses. It bills itself as the flower and greenhouse town.

The Reykjadalur ‘hot spring valley’ hike, ending in a bathe in a naturally warm river, is the star attraction. In town, a geothermal park, greenhouse tours and an earthquake exhibition explain the living land beneath your feet.
