    Hiking

    Hallarflöt is part of the Dimmuborgir area in North Iceland, known for its unique lava formations. It is a small grassland surrounded by impressive lava peaks and rock formations. Hallarflöt is accessible via several hiking trails in Dimmuborgir, offering visitors a chance to experience the natural beauty of the area.

    One of the hiking trails, the Great Circle (marked in yellow), is approximately 840 meters long and takes you to Hallarflöt in 15-20 minutes. This route is an excellent choice for those who want a shorter walk and still experience the essence of Dimmuborgir.

    Hallarflöt are probably the "Kissing Trolls", a worthwhile short detour on the tour through the Troll Rocks.

    Beautiful rock formations of old solidified lava. Beautiful area to walk through and enjoy these beautiful and sometimes special shaped rocks.
