The way back takes us in sections through a pumice desert below the notorious Hekla volcano.
The Hekla (hooded woman) was also once thought to be a place where the devil brought the souls of the damned to the surface to cool off so that they would not get too used to the hellfire.
The Hekla is a 1,491 meter high central volcano and is one of Iceland's most active volcanoes.
It is notorious for its short warning time of approximately 30 minutes before an eruption and its last eruption was in 2011.

  • Hekla

    Der Rückweg führt uns streckenweise durch eine Bimssteinwüste unterhalb des berüchtigten Vulkans Hekla. Die Hekla (Kapuzenträgerin) wurde früher auch für einen Ort gehalten, an dem der Teufel die Seelen der Verdammten zum Abkühlen an die Oberfläche holte, damit sie sich nicht zu sehr an das Höllenfeuer gewöhnen. Die Hekla ist ein 1.491m hoher Zentralvulkan und gehört zu den aktivsten Vulkanen Islands. Sie ist berüchtigt für ihre kurze Vorwarnzeit von ca. 30 Minuten vor einem Ausbruch und ihr letzter Ausbruch war im Jahr 2011.
