A vast number of people pass through or by Hveragerði in south Iceland each year. Located 45 km from Reykjavik, Hveragerði may be seen from the vantage point of the Kambar mountain slope, as it spreads out across a 5,000 year-old lava field. Troughout the year, pillars of steam from the numerous hot springs in the town may be seen rising up out of the ground. In summer the town is truly a green community, abounding in trees. A green revolution is taking place as areas of woodland in and around Hveragerði expand, with the locals working together in order to further develop their blossoming town.
In 1946 Hveragerði became its own municipality. Hveragerði has been a productive town in the last few years. New buildings are appering as more and more people are choosing to come and live in the town attracted by its tranquillity and closeness to nature. The growing population has risen to 2300.

Hveragerði has much to offer. Trout and salmon swim in the Varmá river, berries can be had for the picking on the heath to the west of the town, and the area abounds in excellent walking routes. Not to mention the swimming pool, that for years was the largest pool in Iceland. It´s surroundings are remarkably beautiful. There are hot baths, whirlpools, a natural sauna and a fitness center. The swimming pool is open all year round. The NLFÍ Health and Rehabilitation Clinic offers the opportunity to seek health and happiness, and the Ás senior citizens´ home provides comfort for the twilight years. As the poets said: “Hveragerði is the best place in the world.”

Travel Tips from people who've been to Hveragerdhi
Right before you get to Hveragerdi from Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland (40 minute drive) you drive down a hill.  On that hill, right above the town there is a sightseeing area and on a clear day the view is amazing. You can see over to the glaciers and the Vestman Islands, incredibly beautiful.

5 minutes later you're in Hveragerdi. 
For me the most interesting things about Hveragerdi is that right in the middle of the town there is a geothermal area with hot springs (not this is plural as in not one spring but many), also not far from the geothermal area there is a beautiful waterfall and third the golf course.

The golf course has 9 holes but two of them are pretty special. Right by the 1st green there are hot clay springs with bubbling clay and by the 5th mens tee there is a hot water spring that blows regularly.  The 9 holes are very well maintained and the in all the course is fun to play.

Profiter des sources volcaniques à proximité de la ville, puis se préparer une journée de balade dans les montagnes gorgées de sources d'eau chaude autour : on peut s'y baigner presque par tous les temps ! Possibilité de s'organiser aussi une randonnée jusqu'à Þingvellir (prévoir au moins 2 jours, un pour l'aller, l'autre pour le retour).
