Hiking
Dettifoss & Selfoss hike. There are three trails: one marked as easy and a supposedly more technical route to Dettifoss. In reality, the latter is not technical at all: there are boardwalks and the trail is absolutely manageable. The walk to Selfoss is equally easy and pleasant, leading to the upper waterfall.
