Mountain biking
Don't try to get here by bike (unless it's electric).
The terrain runs along a track in the middle of a lava field; it's uneven, treacherous, and with a gradient that will force you off your bike at some point. Walking is already a challenge; on a conventional bike, it's dangerous. If you're riding an electric bike and have steady hands, even better—but still, be very careful.

As of August 18, 2025:
Iceland experienced its twelfth volcanic eruption in just over four years. On the sparsely populated Reykjanes Peninsula, southwest of Reykjavik, the earth opened up again on Wednesday, July 16. Since Tuesday, August 5, no more lava has been escaping from the eruption fissure located approximately seven kilometers northeast of Grindavik. Volcanologists believe it is highly likely that the eruption has ended for the time being.
The temporarily closed campsite in the town of Grindavik is now freely accessible again.
