About Deildartunguhver
Deildartunguhver showcases geothermal activity in the Borgarfjörður valley. Hot water and steam appear in an area of rock altered by heat. The spring is connected to the supply of hot water for communities in the region, bringing geology closer to everyday life.
The visit to the field focuses on observation from the designated area. Steam can hide or reveal parts of the terrain depending on wind direction. The interest is not in walking a long trail but in recognizing the water outlet and the use of this resource.
The site is on a driving circuit from Borgarnes and can be combined with Hraunfossar. Observing the spring is a different activity from the thermal baths offered by nearby establishments. Make choices beforehand so the geological stop does not depend on booking another service.
