A sort of natural fortress formed by a veritable labyrinth of ruiniform lava mounds to explore on foot in Myvatn.

From the foot of Hverfjall, a signposted path leads to Dimmuborgir, the "black castles", a sort of natural fortress formed by a veritable labyrinth of ruinous lava mounds. These chaotic heaps are the remains of a frozen lava lake. One of the strangest formations is Kirkjan ("the church"), a huge arch. From Reykjahlíð to Dimmuborgir via Hverfjall, the hike takes 3 to 4 hours. Three signposted trails (15 to 40 minutes' walk) allow you to loop around this protected site.

Plusieurs sentiers de randonnées permettent de déambuler dans ce labyrinthe de coulée de lave. Belle promenade au sein d'un parc façonnée par la lave.

Parc splendide au couleur d'automne. Les sentiers très bien entretenus nous conduisent à la recherche des pères noël islandais. Le mélange entre le jaune des arbres et le noir des roche est à couper le souffle.
