The offshore rock formation was created long ago out of careless trolls, and the basalt columns are among the favorite motifs of many travelers.

Then you should opt for freedom on four wheels. With a rented campervan, you can explore the natural beauty of Iceland flexibly and at your own pace. Your lunch break? Preferably in an idyllic parking lot with a view. In the evening, head to one of the many well-equipped campsites. Whether you want to tour around Iceland on the Ring Road or seek adventure in the highlands. At <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cozycampers.is\/premium-campers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cozy Campers<\/a> <\/strong>, you can rent both budget vans and highland campers, which you can use to drive the lonely F-roads in the highlands. The latter is already at the top of my wish list for my next trip to Iceland!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reynisfjall - Tuff mountain with puffins<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Reynisfjall is a 340 m high tuff mountain that separates the village of V\u00edk from the beach Reynisfjara. It was formed in the penultimate ice age by a volcanic eruption under the ice. A hiking trail leads from V\u00edk up to a viewpoint at 150 meters above sea level. There and back it is about seven kilometers. Along the way, you can see seabirds during the breeding season, and with luck, puffins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other side of the mountain, at Reynisfjara beach, you will find the famous basalt columns and two caves. The beach is only about three kilometers from V\u00edk as the crow flies. But the mountain Reynisfjall blocks the direct way and must be either hiked or driven around (about 16 kilometers).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" data-attachment-id=\"14192\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/en\/reynisfjara-strand-vik-island\/omii8287\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/OMII8287.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1500,1000\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Mareike Schadach&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"OMII8287\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/OMII8287-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/OMII8287.jpg\" alt=\"Reynisfjara Strand und Basalts\u00e4ulen V\u00eck\" class=\"wp-image-14192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/OMII8287.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/OMII8287-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/OMII8287-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/OMII8287-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/OMII8287-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/OMII8287-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/OMII8287-1068x712.jpg 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">H\u00e1lsanefshellir Cave at Reynisfjara Beach is one of the most popular caves in Iceland. It is located at the foot of the mountain Reynisfjall and is surrounded by basalt columns.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reynisfjara Beach - Basalt Columns, Caves, and Monster Waves<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Next to the parking lot, various warning signs attract full attention: sneaker waves can suddenly and unexpectedly wash over the beach here and, in the worst case, cause an unwanted swim in the North Atlantic. This has cost some travelers their lives. Therefore, you should always keep an eye on the water and keep plenty of distance from the water line. Even if the sea looks quite calm and peaceful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basalt columns are formed by the slow cooling of the basalt lava. After the solidification of the lava flow and cooling of the surface, the first stress cracks appear here. With increasing cooling, the stress cracks continue to grow downwards and the typical hexagonal columns are formed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tip: If you stay overnight in V\u00edk, visit Reynisfjara Beach before the tour buses from Reykjavik arrive. Or in the evening, when most of the visitors are already on their way home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\"
