<\/figure>\n\nThis opinion is completely independent<\/strong>, based on our experiences. We visited the region anonymously, making our own choices and paying our bills in full.<\/p>\n\n Content<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n This shallow lake, whose name means “lake of the gnats”, covers some 37km\u00b2 and is a concentrate of Icelandic geology.<\/p>\n\n Here’s a map of the best attractions, listed in this article, to help you find your way around:<\/p>\n\n You’re in for a treat:<\/p>\n\n If you only have a few hours to spare, we recommend: Hverir, Dimmuborir and the pseudocraters of Stukustadir.<\/p>\n\n And if you don’t want to drive, there are organized excursions from Akureyri. See the options<\/a><\/p>\n\n The Sk\u00fatusta\u00f0ag\u00edgar pseudocraters are among Lake Myvatn’s most fascinating geological sights. Unlike traditional craters, these formations are not the result of volcanic eruptions, but of the explosion of steam caused by lava flowing over marshy ground. <\/p>\n\n We walked along these small green grass-covered craters scattered along the southern shore of the lake, and the sight is truly singular. It’s our favorite! The circular path winds between the pseudocraters. <\/p>\n\n The Hverir geothermal zone, also known as N\u00e1mafjall, is one of the most impressive sites in the Lake Myvatn region. We discovered a lunar landscape where pools of bubbling mud, sulfur fumaroles and solfataras color the ground in shades of ochre, yellow and gray. The smell of sulfur is omnipresent, a sign of the intense geothermal activity beneath your feet.<\/p>\n\n The terrain, totally devoid of vegetation, offers striking contrasts. We recommend that you take the time to observe the different formations, as each pond and fumarole has its own unique characteristics. You can also climb the slopes of N\u00e1mafjall hill for a panoramic view of the whole area, with the lake in the background.<\/p>\n\n Fosshotel Myvatn<\/strong>, with beautiful lake views Salt – Hotel Myvatn<\/strong>, near the pseudo-craters Dimmuborgir Guesthouse, <\/strong><\/strong>by the lake See our selection: Where to stay on Lake Myvatn<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Dimmuborgir, whose name means “dark castles”, is a natural labyrinth of amazingly shaped lava formations. We surveyed this site, whose columns, arches and caves of volcanic rock are reminiscent of the ruins of an ancient fortress. These structures were formed around 2,300 years ago, when a lake of lava solidified around columns of steam, creating hollow pillars and surprising cavities. <\/p>\n\n What’s more, Icelandic folklore associates Dimmuborgir with trolls and hidden beings, adding a mysterious dimension to the walk. You can choose from several marked trails of varying difficulty, some of which cross remarkable natural arches such as Kirkjan, “the church” (photo below).<\/p>\n\n Discover the best offers on Discovercars<\/a>, our preferred platform! Read all our tips<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n The Natural Baths of Myvatn are often compared to the famous Blue Lagoon in southern Iceland, but in a much wilder, less crowded setting. We enjoyed these naturally heated geothermal water pools at around 36-40\u00b0C, surrounded by lava fields and steam. <\/p>\n\n The mineral-rich water comes from underground springs at depths of over 2,500m. The complex features a large outdoor pool, natural steam baths and a relaxation area. <\/p>\n\n The Hverfjall crater, also spelled Hverfell, is one of the world’s largest explosion craters. Formed around 2,500 years ago during a phreatomagmatic eruption, it measures almost 1km in diameter and rises to an altitude of 420m. We climbed its ash and black gravel-covered slopes to reach the ridge, from where the 360\u00b0 view is absolutely breathtaking. <\/p>\n\n The panorama embraces Lake Myvatn, the Dimmuborgir lava fields, the Hverir geothermal zone and the surrounding mountains. You can walk along the rim of the crater on a circular path that goes all the way around.<\/p>\n\n Leirhnj\u00fakur lies at the heart of the Krafla volcanic system. This is the walk that most impressed us in the region. We passed through still-smoldering lava fields, remnants of the eruptions that occurred between 1975 and 1984 during the “Krafla fires”. And as we went early, it felt like being alone in the world after a disaster!<\/p>\n\n We followed the signposted trail that winds between the various geothermal zones, an experience we consider a must on a stay at Lake M\u00fdvatn.<\/p>\n\n The V\u00edti crater, whose name means “hell” in Icelandic, is located in the Krafla area, in the immediate vicinity of Leirhnj\u00fakur. Formed during an eruption in 1724, it is home to a turquoise lake that contrasts with the dark crater walls. We were surprised by the intensity of this color (which varies with the light and the seasons). <\/p>\n\n The site is easily accessible from the Krafla geothermal power station parking lot. You can walk around the crater along the path that runs along its rim. We recommend stopping here for at least 20min to appreciate the geometry of this crater and the views of the surrounding mountains.<\/p>\n\n The Kalfastr\u00f6nd and H\u00f6f\u00f0i peninsulas on the eastern shore of Lake Myvatn offer some of the finest views of the lake and surrounding area. We observed the strange pillars of lava emerging from the water, called “klasar”, formed by the interaction between molten lava and the lake. These winding columns create a unique landscape. <\/p>\n\n The H\u00f6f\u00f0i peninsula is a birch-wooded promontory with shady paths running along the lake shore. You’ll find unobstructed views of the pseudocraters on the opposite shore and the surrounding mountains. <\/p>\n\n The Grj\u00f3tagj\u00e1 caves are a small lava cavity housing a limpid blue hot spring. The cave lies along a tectonic fault, at the boundary between the North American and Eurasian plates. We were captivated by the beauty of this natural pool, whose light filters through cracks in the rock to illuminate the water in a bluish hue. <\/p>\n\n Swimming has been banned since the eruptions of Krafla in the 1970s-1980s, which raised the water temperature to dangerous levels. You can still admire the grotto and its thermal spring as you approach the opening. We recommend spending a few moments there to appreciate this geological phenomenon, made famous by its appearance in the Game of Thrones series.<\/p>\n\n Touring Lake M\u00fdvatn by car or bike is a great way to connect all the major sites in the region. The 36km loop mainly follows Route 848, offering new views of the lake, lava formations and mountains at every turn. We took the time to stop regularly to enjoy the many viewpoints along the way. Each stretch of road reveals a different landscape. We particularly liked the large lava fields with giant cracks.<\/p>\n\n Vindbelgjarfjall is a mountain on the western shore of Lake Myvatn, with a peak of around 529m. The hike to the top offers one of the most complete panoramas of the entire lake and its surroundings.<\/p>\n\n The view extends over the entire lake, the Sk\u00fatusta\u00f0ag\u00edgar pseudocraters, the Hverfjall crater and the Krafla mountains in the distance. You’ll see just how much the region has been shaped by volcanic activity. <\/p>\n\n Sk\u00fatusta\u00f0akirkja is a charming little Icelandic church on the southern shore of Lake M\u00fdvatn, right next to the Sk\u00fatustadag\u00edgar pseudocraters. We found this church to be discreetly charming, set in a natural setting of great beauty. It is slightly elevated and offers beautiful views of the lake.<\/p>\n\n The M\u00fdvatn Gigur Visitor Center is a small exhibition center located near the village of Sk\u00fatusta\u00f0ir. Here we found explanatory panels on the geology, ecosystem and history of the Lake M\u00fdvatn region. This center is a good introduction before you set off to explore the natural sites. You’ll also get practical information on trails and the day’s weather conditions.<\/p>\n\n Lake M\u00fdvatn is one of Europe’s most important ornithological sites, home to the world’s greatest diversity of nesting ducks. <\/p>\n\n Sigurgeir’s Bird Museum, located in Neslandav\u00edk on the northeast shore of the lake, features a comprehensive collection of naturalized birds from the region. You’ll discover the different species that frequent the lake throughout the seasons. Visit the official website for more info here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n The Visitor Centre at the Krafla Geothermal Power Station usually features an interactive exhibition on geothermal energy production in Iceland. We find this type of visit instructive in understanding how Iceland makes the most of its natural resources. Please note: the center will be closed in summer 2026 for renovations. Visit the official website for more info here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n The M\u00fdvatn \u00d6l Brewery is a local craft microbrewery offering guided tours and tastings of beers brewed on site. Book your visit and tasting today! <\/a><\/p>\n\n The Lake M\u00fdvatn region is ideally situated for visiting many of the outstanding natural sites of northern Iceland. Here are our recommended excursions from the lake.<\/p>\n\n Dettifoss is Europe’s most powerful waterfall, a natural spectacle of awesome brute force. We felt the vibrations of the ground several metres from the edge. Upstream, the more discreet Selfoss waterfall offers an equally remarkable setting. Both waterfalls are part of the Diamond Circle, a major tourist route in northern Iceland. <\/p>\n\n They can be reached in around 45 minutes’ drive from Lake M\u00fdvatn.<\/p>\n\n Godafoss, the “waterfall of the gods”, is one of Iceland’s most famous waterfalls. Some 30m wide, it flows in an elegant semicircle. Its name comes from a historical episode: in the year 1000, the Icelandic chief is said to have thrown his pagan idols here after Iceland’s conversion to Christianity. <\/p>\n\n It’s about a 30-minute drive from Reykjahl\u00ed\u00f0.<\/p>\n\n The Lofthellir cave is a lava tunnel adorned with natural ice formations, accessible only on guided tours and outside the winter season. We consider this excursion to be a unique experience, as the ice sculptures inside the cave create a magical setting. The visit lasts around 3 hours and requires transport by super-jeep to the cave entrance. You’ll have to crawl in places, which adds an adventurous dimension to this outing. Book your tour now!<\/a><\/p>\n\n The town of H\u00fasav\u00edk, about a 50-minute drive from Lake M\u00fdvatn, is considered Europe’s whale-watching capital. We were amazed by the possibility of spotting humpback whales, white-beaked dolphins and sometimes even blue whales in Skj\u00e1lfandi Bay. Several companies offer boat trips lasting 2 to 3 hours. You can combine this excursion with a visit to the village, which also houses a museum dedicated to whales. Book your whale watching trip now!<\/a><\/p>\n\n Akureyri, Iceland’s “capital of the north”, is about 1 hour’s drive west of Lake M\u00fdvatn. This dynamic town of almost 20,000 inhabitants offers an urban atmosphere that contrasts with the wilderness of M\u00fdvatn. We enjoyed the botanical garden, one of the most northerly in the world, and the lively shopping street. Here you can stock up on provisions, enjoy a variety of restaurants and visit a few museums before heading back to the lake.<\/p>\n\n Lake M\u00fdvatn is one of Iceland’s best places to observe the Northern Lights, thanks to its low light pollution and its position in the north of the country. The observation season runs from September to April. In midsummer, the nights are too short to see them. But at the end of August or September, the chances increase. The reflections of the aurora on the surface of the water add an extra dimension to the experience. <\/p>\n\n<\/span>Myvatn attractions: summary + map<\/span><\/h2>\n\n
