The drive begins to the parking area at Leirhnjúkur, north of the Krafla Power Station. The hike starts with a walk to Leirhnjúkur and then follows a marked trail to Reykjahlíð, largely tracing the lava field from the 1727 eruption, known as Eldá. The route passes along the southern slopes of Hlíðarfjall, with the option of making a detour to the summit.

Distance: 15 km
Elevation Gain: None on the main route; approximately 300 m additional ascent if hiking up Hlíðarfjall (optional).

Participants must arrange transportation between Reykjahlíð and Leirhnjúkur, as cars need to be repositioned between the start and end points.

Price: ISK 2,700 / 4,400
Included: Guided hike.

Payment is made at departure.
