What people say

Nally Preseault
"Most people visit Haukadalur without ever knowing it. The Valley of Hawks is home to one of the most popular destinations in not only the Golden Circle, but in all of Iceland. It's Geysir. The vast geothermal area is dotted with boiling mud pits, bubbling hot springs, steaming vents, and other erupting geysers, as well. Earthquakes are common. Unfortunately, large crowds are, too. Don't let them stop you. The higher you climb on the surrounding hiking trails, the farther away they'll feel."
"EN: The is a loop road you can take to see the geothermal valley from all angles. The geyser Strokkur is still active, erupting every five to ten minutes. DE: Es gibt einen Rundweg, die du nehmen kannst, um das geothermische Tal aus allen Blickwinkeln zu sehen. Der Geysir Strokkur ist immer noch aktiv und eruptiert alle fünf bis zehn Minuten."
Annalisa Fochesato
"Il parcheggio è gratuito, il loco è presente un ristorante con bagno e negozio di souvenir. Il primo geyser che troverete - Stokkur - erutta ogni 10 minuti in media, mentre il secondo - Geysir - erutta più raramente."
