Continue to the Mývatn area through the small village of Laugar. But on the way, you must not miss Goðafoss waterfall and even learn about the story of Þorgeir the Lawspeaker, who made Christianity the official religion of Iceland in the year 1000.
By Lake Mývatn are some of the most popular natural attractions in Iceland such as Dimmuborgir lava formations, Höfði and Grjótagjá cave. In addition, the birdlife is particularly diverse, as it is believed that more species of ducks stay there than in any other place on Earth. Plan a visit to the Bird Museum to learn how people in the area used the lake for transport and to survive.
There are numerous hiking trails in the area and plenty of entertainment available all year round – snowmobiling, snow shoe walking, caving, dogsledding or just relax in the Nature Baths.
By Lake Mývatn are many types of accommodation along with many good restaurants and cafes.
