Gunnuhver Hot Springs
@your-friends-in-iceland
Gunnuhver, located in the Reykjanes Peninsula of Iceland, is a remarkable geothermal area that showcases the country's fiery natural forces. This dynamic and otherworldly site, named after the restless spirit of a ghostly woman named Gudrun, offers visitors a unique opportunity to witness powerful geothermal activity up close.
From the geothermal field, walk 400 meters to Reykjaens lighthouse. Then, head to Valahnúkamöl cliffs with the iconic organ seen in "Eurovision: The Story of Fire Saga," the movie with Will Ferrell about the Eurovision Song Contest.
