The water at Deildartunguhver Hot Springs emerges at a constant 207 degrees Fahrenheit, making it dangerous for those who venture too close. This is Europe's most powerful hot spring, gushing out almost 50 gallons of boiling water per second. Due to the sheer energy bubbling under Deildartunguhver, much of the water is used for heating Icelandic homes. All Icelandic hot water comes from hot springs such as this. Signs warn you not to touch the water. We enjoyed the "mist" as we took an up close view, for sure!
Deildartunguhver is located off highway 50 near Reykholt. Free to park.
