Snæfellsnes – Borgarfjörður Valley Drive

About Snæfellsnes – Borgarfjörður Valley Drive

The Borgarfjörður valley is one of West Iceland's most scenic and historically rich areas, winding inland from Borgarnes alongside the Hvítá river through lush farmland and lava country. The valley road passes key sites including Deildartunguhver (Europe's most powerful hot spring), Hraunfossar (lava waterfalls), Barnafoss, Reykholt (Snorri Sturluson's farm) and the Víðgelmir lava cave. The entire route can be driven in a day from Reykjavík as an alternative to the Golden Circle.
