③Dimmuborgir：象石林一样的景观。（路过）网络图片

I have never seen lava fields before, and this was incredible. We felt like Sam and Frodo on the path to Mordor, but very beautiful and less ominous! It is so unbelievable to see how lava changes the landscape! We walked through Dimmuborgir on the way to Hverfjall and back.

(May trip 2014) At proximity of the lake Myvatn, we really enjoy our little walk in the lava fields. We don't have a lot of time but it's really worth the time to take 1 or 2 hour to walk a biggest trail.

This beautiful area near Lake Myvatn is just a marvelous spot to enjoy a nice lunch and a walk through the lava fields. This is where the Yule Lads (the 13 Christmas trolls) live with their mother in the caves. Because we visited at the end of November, we actually met one of them! It was sort of funny because he looked lonely and he was studying his Spanish text book :) (Note - to go down the dead end path where the yule lads hang out awaiting visitors, it is expected that you will pay 1,000 ISK.)After a quick lunch in the café - amazing locally smoked trout served with bread baked in a geothermal oven at the hot springs nearby - we headed out on the paths. You can't get this everywhere in Iceland. The bread is dark and dense with a slightly sweet taste. The trout was fresh and delightful.To hike or walk the paths, there is no admission charge. There are several paved paths with some little side trails (dirt) that leads to caves, overlooks, crevasses etc. These are easy paths. There is also a moderate/difficult path that you can take which is not paved and requires you to shimmy, shake, crawl and squeeze through tight spots. Sounds fun actually - but since it was winter, we stuck to the paved paths. And there is also a longer path for the serious hikers that goes form Dimmuborger to the nearby town of Reykhalid (about 8 Km away).We were here near sunset and the landscape, rock formations and play of light were amazing. There is also a great deal of vegetation here, including many beautiful white birch trees. I found it to be a lovely place that I could have stayed much longer at if the sun weren't literally dropping out of the sky. A photographer's paradise!

We walked the smaller ring of trails. Loved the troll caves and incredible lava formations. Able to pick trails based on abilities and fitness. Great view of the volcano from the hole in the lava.

This is a very nice walk where you can see black rocky pillars standing that were ancient steam vents. There are several paths that you can take depending on the lengh that you feel doing. Unfortunately in winter there was a meter of packed snow that didn't allowed us to continue to the lava tube (the church). Well, I guess we will come back in summer! ;)Visited on December 2012

Really amazing lava formations here that will blow your mind. A really easy walk and one of my favorite spots in the area. Make sure you explore the whole area as there are definitely some great surprises!!

I have only seen a bit of it as it started to rain a lot. But what I saw was enough to throw this on the next to visit list. Especially in its autumn colors this is a complete different world where you see faces in the lava everywhere. Wouldnt have wanted to miss it! Various hiking tracks from short and easy to long and exhausting (I think if not well trained).

What an alien yet amazing place to be in. Definitely a must for nature lovers. I didn't get to walk every track but all you need is to wander and you get the sense of awe. It is also amazing from the coffee house where you can overlook it all with the lake in the background

This was a very impressive site, lava formations where cool, very interesting to see, would recommend u to see this when in iceland, the view from the cafe/souvenir shop was a sight to behold, not a difficult walk but some may find it a strain, all in all worth seeing.

was interesting to take a quick walk around these lava formations ... except the bugs there become quite annoying (so be forewarned or bring a bug net with you).

This is one of the magic places in Iceland - if you are lucky to be alone.... Which is difficult at any place around Myvatn being a premier spot for any tourist. Yet, we found peace and solitude before sunset and really could see - with the low sun - the lava structures like parts of vacated houses and even church ruins - very impressive! Doesn't need to much phantasy - go try yourself!Markings along the paths are not a lot help, so we stayed down there longer than planned ;-) .

You must go there. Walking through the lanes of the park makes you feel the strong power of the nature. The different shape of the rocks makes the visit as one to remember. Do not miss any part of it. It worth it.

Great place to visit. Could do with Rory McIlroy to pitch a ball through the rock with the hole in the centre! Can walk right round the base of the rock formations or view from above. They are in the middle of nowhere with a cafe, shop etc as well, but you can spend ages enjoying the scenery, taking photos and learning about the myths linked with this location - go to find out!

We went hiking through these eerie lava formations after dinner, about 10pm. We were the only ones there and it was easy to imagine trolls hiding behind every rock and in every cave. The trails were in good condition and maps at each intersection, so go and enjoy!
