アイスランドのおすすめMTBライド

It's a nice and easy walk to get here. Recommend.

Due to the inflow of warm water from geothermal springs, the bathing temperature in the bay is comparatively pleasant.

Hlíðarfjall Bike Park, in the mountains above Akureyri, is Iceland's only bike park. Open in summer, it offers a chairlift to take bikes up to almost 1,000 meters and some 40 km of trails: from technical tracks and challenging descents to smoother sections and even e-bike areas. The flagship descent drops more than 700 meters of elevation to the Glerá Valley, with stunning views of the fjord and mountains. It's the perfect place to get the most out of cycling in Iceland: varied terrain, a biker atmosphere, and the sensation of pedaling through a volcanic playground.

Just a few minutes from Reykjavik, Vífilsstaðahlíð is an oasis of wooded hills perfect for walking or cycling. Its trails offer sweeping views of the bay and the capital. The site takes its name from Vífilsstaðir, an old farm mentioned in the Viking sagas. Today, amidst tranquil nature and historical remains like the old tuberculosis hospital, it is a place where sport and history go hand in hand.

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.

– A stunning, narrow, unpaved road that runs along sea cliffs in Iceland's West Fjords. Carved into the rock and with very exposed sections, it offers spectacular views of the ocean and mountains, but requires a 4x4 vehicle and driving experience. It's only passable in summer and in good weather: a challenge for adventurers and lovers of extreme routes.

A creative space where sculptures and artworks are crafted from scrap metal and repurposed metal parts. Each piece transforms industrial materials into unique art, combining sustainability and design. It's a unique stop for those who enjoy alternative art and want to discover how recycling can be transformed into artistic expression.

An old narrow-gauge locomotive used in the early 20th century to transport materials from the port during the construction of docks and dikes. Restored and displayed outdoors in the port area, it is a small testament to the city's industrial history and a nod to the era when the railway, albeit briefly, was present in Iceland.
