It's not exactly easy to get to. You can either take one of the Highland Busses or go by yourself. Definitely needs 4wd to get through the river crossings on the way. Scenery is absolutely stunning, never seen anything like this before. Bizarre Lava Formations...More
We had an amazing route to Askja. We drove from the south of Myvatn to Askja via a really tough road. The road itself is not on Google but is is on the map of Iceland (it has no number). You will drive though the...More
A moderate walk through soft snow for about 30 min slighty uphill with an enormous reward! Once you arrive, the first thing you see is the lake. Dissapointing? At first sight yes, but go 100m further and then... you see the Askja crater filled with...More
Desert like area full of grey dust and sand in the midle of nohwere. Nice trip to crater where is located the lake. Trek is easy but took cca 3-4 hours one way.

I did this tour with Estja in a mini-bus. The driver was kind and let us film when the bus crossed a river. We had a guide Stafania who was very knowledgeable, and made sure time passed well by telling us icelandic jokes and stories....More
We've used F901 -> F905 ->F910 and crossed all the rivers with no problem. In spite of investing a lot of time in Web search, I have not been able to find the most useful advice: stop near the tourist information on F901 ( 65.37397°N...More
