Reykjadalur means Steam Valley and delivers exactly that: a 3km climb past bubbling mud pots to a river that runs bath-warm, where you change behind a modest windbreak and soak with the sheep watching. The guide brings rye bread baked in geothermal ground and knows which stretch of river hits the right temperature. The uphill is genuinely sweaty, there are no lockers or showers, and in rain the trail turns to peanut butter — good boots or misery.
