Next, we take the trail behind the picturesque shield volcano Skjaldbreid along our second biggest glacier, the Langjökull. After about two hours drive on tough trails and some river crossings we get back to normal roads again. Our next stop, Gullfoss, is Iceland´s best known waterfall, it cascades down 32 meters into the mighty glacial river Hvítá.

Walking down into the lava cave and discovering the marvels that volcanic activity has created in the past is a trip that everyone can undertake and enjoy. The Leiðarendi cave is a perfect example of an Icelandic lava tube and a unique experience where you will explore this dark and quirky world beneath ours. On your underworld adventure you will see the magical rock formations left behind in the last volcanic eruption. In winter the cave is likely to be filled with glistening icicles of all shapes and sizes, a sight not soon forgotten.
