10:30
Check the route for a nearby spot to grab lunch or a snack. Since there are no specific food or drink shops listed in the immediate context, look for options on Suðurlandsvegur or halfway toward Hveragerði.
11:00
End your visit with a walk around the facility grounds. The plant is located on Suðurlandsvegur, offering a stark, industrial landscape that contrasts with the natural geothermal activity.
Local tip
The plant is located on Suðurlandsvegur half way to Hveragerði. Make sure to check the route if you are driving, as the area is quite remote.
