A popular tourist attraction, it is a must-visit place for those who love open outdoor adventures and is part of the Oddnýjarhnjúkur-Langjökull subglacial volcanic system in the north of Langjokull glacier in the central highlands.

The oldest mention of this amazing location, with numerous hot springs, fumaroles and hot mud, dates back to 1752 by two Icelandic Icelandic explorers and naturalists in their travel journals. Most tourists do not leave Hveravellir, which is declared a natural monument, without a dip in its warm and refreshing waters, where a dam was built on the stream in 1950.
