asked
questions

How do I get to Víti Krafla?
Víti Krafla is in North Iceland. Check live road conditions on this page before you drive — highland lakes often need a 4×4 and some access roads only open in summer.
Can I fish at Víti Krafla?
Angling in Iceland requires a permit bought per water body from the landowner or local angling association, and gear used abroad must be disinfected first. Check the local rules for Víti Krafla before you cast.
Can I swim in Víti Krafla?
