What people say

Solivagant Jules
"This is best summited in late summer because it's often covered in snow well into July. Bringing micro-spikes and good hiking shoes is highly recommended, as well as, the 10 Essentials. The road is very sketchy and you will need a 4x4, and sometimes you also need to know when to turn around if bad conditions persist. Remember, it's also one of Icelands most active volcanos, named by the Norse "The Gateway to Hell." "
"EN: The Jeep drove all the way up the mountain and we ended up having this amazing view. Hekla is one of the best known volcanos in Iceland. DE: Der Jeep fuhr komplett den Berg hinauf, und wir hatten schließlich diese erstaunliche Aussicht. Hekla ist einer der bekanntesten Vulkane in Island."
