Day trip to several spots south and east around the vacation home in Snorrastaðir.
Distance: 280 km
Time to drive: 3:40 h

 

Akranes Village (optional)

Want to check out the lighthouse located in the west of the town. Not a must though.

 

Hraunfossar waterfall

The Hraunfossar falls are wide but not very high splitting off in hundreds of small falls over 700 meters.

Because of the wide area a 14mm lens might be a good choice but for some details even the Tamron 70-200mm might come into play.

 

Deildartunguhver fountain (optional)

The Deildartunguhver is a hot fountain and included as an optional spot when time permits to go there. 180 liters/sec are ejected and the water is about 100°C hot.

 

Grabrok crater (optional)

Another spot which is optional if time permits to visit. A marked trail leads up to the volcano crater and should give panoramic view over the area.

 

Glanni waterfall

This waterfall is a cascade at the river Norðurá. Maybe not very spectacular.

A 24mm or even the Voigtländer 20mm lens might be a good choice for this area.

 

Short walk around the waterfall area.
