Hiking
Access only with 4x4 to reach. The last section to the parking lot requires four-wheel drive. If you park further down, you can also reach the Hekla with a "normal" car. This is not recommended and also prohibited.
Also worth mentioning are the numerous warning signs warning of a possible outbreak. The early warning time is 30 -90min. During this period, the Hekla can be left within a radius of 10km.
