Laugavatn It is situated at a popular touristical round-trip, the Golden Circle and acts as a popular staging post in the area. If somebody wants to go from Þingvellir to Haukadalur, it is possible to follow a track through an interesting volcanic landscape and along Laugarvatn.
Jarlhettur ridge is located east of the Langjökull in Iceland's Western Volcanic Zone. It consists of two sub-parallel ridges, of varying length and partially off-set, which trend north-east to south-west and constrain the eastern boundary of Hagafellsjökull Eystri.
Geysir is basically in our garden. The placename "Geysir" has been first mentioned in written sources in 18th century, the term became popular and has been used for similar hydrothermal features worldwide since then.
Kerlingafjöll is on the route Kjölur and about 1 hour drive into the highland. It used to be ski resort during summer but last years the climate has changed so the snow melts away. It's a geothermal area and place worth visit for a bath and soup.
Gullfoss or the Golden Waterfall is only 5 minutes drive from Skjól. Gullfoss is in the river Hvítá (engl. white river), which has its origin in the glacier lake Hvítárvatn (white river lake) at Lángjökull glacier about 40km north of Gullfoss.
