Gígvatnsvatn the green lake 🇳🇴

#lakes During my summer vacation in Iceland, I explored Gígvatnsvatn, also known as the Green Lake or Graenesvatn, and it was a highlight of my trip! 🌿🏞️ Located in the Þórsmörk valley, this beautiful lake is renowned for its striking greenish hue caused by the unique mineral content of the water. The lake is a bit off the beaten path, so getting there requires a bit of hiking, but the journey is absolutely worth it. There’s no entrance fee, which is fantastic for such a pristine and unspoiled natural wonder. The hike to the lake offers breathtaking views of the surrounding volcanic landscapes and lush greenery. Once you arrive, the tranquility and natural beauty of Gígvatnsvatn are truly mesmerizing. Nearby, you can explore the Þórsmörk nature reserve with its dramatic landscapes and numerous hiking trails. If you're up for more adventure, consider a guided tour to discover the area's glacial features and diverse flora. #trip #gigvatnsvatn #icelandadventures #greenlake #natureescape #hikingheaven
