Grjotagja Cave

This cave was originally discovered in the 17th century and it was closed in 2018 due to the huge influx of tourists. Later, it was reopened and it continues to be a prominent tourist spot. While the cave has a hot spring located inside of it, tourists are not allowed to take a dip in it due to high temperatures. 

Nevertheless, the cave is still open for visitors. So if you are looking to know more about the natural landscapes of Iceland, then this cave has got you covered. 

• Check out the hot spring inside the cave where Game of Thrones was filmed. 
• Take the hiking trail located just outside the cave until you reach the nearby crater- another natural phenomenon. 
• Go to the nearby geothermal field with bubbling mud pools which were formed due to molten lava and gas explosions. 
• Rejuvenate your senses as you take a dip in the natural springs or steam bath at Lake Mvatn.
