Kerið is located in one of Iceland’s most diverse travel regions and
lies directly along the
Golden Circle,
which connects many of the country’s most famous natural attractions.
Its location makes Kerið a popular stop for travelers exploring
southern Iceland.
A wide range of outdoor activities and services can be found nearby.
Close to the crater is
Hraunborgir Campsite,
a well-known base for travelers in the area.
Nearby is also
Ölvisholt Brewery,
famous for Icelandic craft beer and rural dining experiences.
The region is rich in cultural heritage, with several historic churches
such as
Hraungerðiskirkja,
Stóruborgarkirkja
and
Laugardælakirkja,
all reflecting the long settlement history of Grímsnes
and its surrounding communities.
Golf enthusiasts will find excellent facilities nearby, including
Kiðjaberg Golf Course
and
Svarfhólsvöllur,
as well as outdoor recreation at the
Selfoss Disc Golf Course.
A full range of services is available in
Selfoss,
where visitors can enjoy the

the
Borg Sports Centre
and the
Selfoss Campsite.
As the main service town of South Iceland,
Selfoss is a convenient and popular stop for travelers.
Together, these locations form a diverse travel experience where
nature, history, outdoor activities and local culture meet.

the
Golden Circle.
