Itinerary description

Golden Circle-part 1
Craters and waterfalls...
We left Hveragerđi campsite to explore a part of the Golden Circle.
1- Keriđ lake, which a is volcanic crater lake in the Grímsnes area of South Iceland. It is approximately 3000 years old, making it roughly half the age of most volcanic calderas found in Iceland. This is the major reason why Kerið’s slopes are red in colour, rather than a volcanic black; the iron deposits are still 'fresh'.
2- Secret Lagoon, Gamla Laugin, in Fludir. We had a marvelous bath in the pool...
3- Faxi waterfall. We were charged 700 Isk to park!
4- Geysir
5- Gullfoss, 👣 2kms walk along the river.
6- Brúarnarfoss, where we took a 7 kms trekking trail along the river to see the 3 waterfalls
7- Driving back to the campsite in Hveragerđi

To be continued.
