We want to tell you about a special place located at Lake Myvatn which is one of most popular and beautiful destinations in Iceland. But in exchange you have to promise us that you will take extra care to keep this place as it is and only come there to reflect quietly and enjoy nature at its purest. OK?
Find Höfði at Lake Myvatn
Great. So I am talking about a place called Höfði on the eastern side of the lake. It is a lovely pathway through the forest down to the edge of the lake. There you can sit and experience the symphony of the birds. This will rid you of all of your stress. Just perfect.
