2025 Grimsnes- og Grafningshreppur Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

#lake #100 ways to travel #iceland #kerio #craterlake Kerio, a crater with a geological history of nearly 3,000 years, is located in the Grimsnes region in southern Iceland. It is a beautiful and magnificent crater lake💕 🌟Although most volcanic structures in Iceland are at least 6,000 years old😱, the strata exposed around the Kerio crater are relatively "young" and rich in mineral iron, so they appear bright red instead of the deep black of ordinary volcanoes, which are famous for their colorful colors😍 🌟The bright red surface, the azure blue lake, and the lush vegetation all form a dreamy color contrast, opening up another amazing landscape in Iceland~Amazing Iceland!!

Beautifully sunny but freezing time hiking a volcano!

I went to Kerid! It's about an hour and a half by car from Reykjavik Airport. Parking is free, but the entrance fee is about 400 yen. It's on the way to the Golden Circle, so be sure to stop by. … This is a caldera lake formed by an eruption around 4000 BC, but you can walk around it. You can go down to the base of the caldera lake. It's more impressive than it looks in the photos, and the caldera lake is also larger. 📍Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/g6aSXxuFz6PeVQVt6 #0yentravelFebruary2025 #Icelandroadtrip

Mr. Chen drove me to the south of Iceland for 5 hours today. It is a very famous Golden Circle attraction in Grímsnes in southern Iceland. Kerið Crater attracts many photographers every year. The scenery is so beautiful that every shot is a masterpiece (laughing). The beautiful crater lake was formed by a volcanic eruption 6,500 years ago. It is oval in shape and is about 270 meters long, 170 meters wide and 55 meters deep. It is quite spectacular when you walk up to the top of the mountain. It is completely covered with snow in winter. Due to minerals, the lake surface will appear blue-green in summer. It will look a bit like the eyes of the Japanese witch Okama. You can walk along the trails on the top of the mountain or by the lake. Some places between going up and down the mountain are very steep and not easy to walk. And some ice surfaces are very easy to slip. It is recommended that you wear snow boots or prepare crampons in winter. If you drive yourself, the parking lot of the crater lake is free. But remember to pay the entrance fee at the ticket booth before visiting the crater lake (ISK750 per person). After paying the fee, enter the fence to start the visit.

#getgoing2025 Kerid Crater, Iceland Kerid Crater is a stunning volcanic crater lake located in the Golden Circle route, in southern Iceland. Known for its vibrant colors and dramatic landscape, it offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore one of Iceland’s most famous volcanic craters. Key Features: • Volcanic Crater: The crater is approximately 3,000 years old and is one of the best-preserved volcanic craters in Iceland. It’s about 55 meters deep, 170 meters wide, and 270 meters long. • Bright Blue Lake: At the bottom of the crater is a striking blue lake, formed by rainwater, surrounded by steep, red volcanic rock walls, creating a stunning contrast of colors. • Hiking Around the Crater: Visitors can walk along the rim of the crater or descend to the lake at the bottom for a closer view. • Scenic Views: The surrounding area offers beautiful views of the Icelandic countryside, making it a great spot for photography. Tips: • Wear sturdy footwear for walking around the crater, as the ground can be uneven. • The crater is accessible year-round, though summer offers the best weather for hiking. • Entry fee applies, so check in advance for pricing. Kerid Crater is a must-visit for those exploring the Golden Circle, offering an unforgettable experience of Iceland’s volcanic beauty.

Recommended spots to experience the great outdoors [Kerid Crater Lake] A lake formed in a depression in the mountains A place that reminds me of "Your Name" I can't help but hum that song [Golden Circle] A geyser that erupts every 5 minutes A place that makes you feel close to the earth A wonder that makes you stay watching the eruptions without getting bored no matter how many times you watch them [Gullfoss Waterfall] A very large waterfall The roaring sound of it cascading down is overwhelming The moment a rainbow appears is breathtakingly beautiful *It seems that Iceland doesn't have many sunny days, but miraculously it was sunny and we could see all the way to the distant mountains

After visiting the previous attraction Skálholt Cathedral (White Church), we headed to the famous attraction Kerid Crater. The crater lake was formed 6,500 years ago and is about 50 meters deep. The main reason is that the top of the volcano collapsed after the volcanic eruption to form a depression. The lake was formed by water accumulation due to rain/snow. Due to the minerals in the soil and the water depth, the lake surface appears opaque and extremely beautiful sapphire color. Kerid (Kerið) Crater Lake is one of the famous volcanic craters in Iceland. There is also a famous one in the north of Iceland called Stora Viti. We only visited the south of Iceland this time. I hope we can have a chance to see Stora Viti next time. Tickets: It was 450 ISK when I went there, but now it has increased to 500 ISK Business hours: Open 24 hours, but many people on the Internet say that there is no charge after 17:00 There is free parking, but no toilets. #GlobalTravel
