Hvalfjörður Fjord

Begin with a scenic drive along Hvalfjörður Fjord, where you’ll learn about its history as a British naval base during WWII.

Today, it’s famous for its peaceful landscapes, quiet roads, and surrounding mountains.

Fun fact:
The name Hvalfjörður means “Whale Fjord”, because whales were once commonly seen in the waters here.

♨️ Deildartunguhver Hot Spring

Next, visit Deildartunguhver, Europe’s most powerful hot spring, whose water heats nearby homes and greenhouses.

Fun fact:
This hot spring produces about 180 liters of boiling water every second, supplying geothermal energy to towns many kilometers away.

Hraunfossar Waterfalls

Continue to Hraunfossar, where dozens of small waterfalls flow through ancient lava fields, fed by meltwater from the Langjökull glacier.

Fun fact:
Instead of falling from a cliff, the water emerges directly from the lava rocks, creating one of the most unique waterfall systems in Iceland.

Barnafossar – Children’s Falls

Then, explore Barnafossar, known as “Children’s Falls,” tied to an old legend of two lost children.

Fun fact:
According to Icelandic folklore, the natural stone bridge that once crossed the river was destroyed by a grieving mother after her children fell into the river and drowned.

Borgarfjörður Countryside

Stop for lunch in Borgarfjörður, known for its fresh dairy products, traditional farms, and peaceful countryside.

Fun fact:
This region is famous for producing some of Iceland’s best dairy products, thanks to the fertile farmland and geothermal energy used by local farms.

Borgarnes – The Settlement Center

Finally, visit Borgarnes, where the Settlement Center shares the saga of Iceland’s earliest Viking settlers.

Fun fact:
The exhibitions tell the story of Egil Skallagrímsson, one of Iceland’s most famous Viking poets and warriors from the medieval Icelandic sagas.

✨ A Day to Remember

Your day ends filled with dramatic landscapes, powerful geothermal energy, Viking history, and authentic Icelandic countryside experiences — making the Silver Circle one of Iceland’s most fascinating hidden routes.
