The live webcam lens is turned to one of the most famous sights of Iceland - Mount Hekla.
Incredibly beautiful volcano is surrounded by no less picturesque valley. In real time, you can observe this wonderful corner of nature, being in various parts of the world.
Hella, whose webcams can be viewed online, is a tiny town in Iceland, located in the southern part of the country on the banks of the Itri-Raungau River.
Miniature in terms of population, this town is able to surprise guests with many unique natural locations. The surroundings of Hell will delight travelers with an abundance of caves and unusual landscapes.
The city is located 94 km from Reykjavik, near the village of Selfoss with the famous waterfall. Hella boasts a well-established infrastructure, as well as an outstanding attraction - the Hekla volcano, which is included in the list of the most famous peaks in the country. It is noteworthy that the region is quite young in terms of tourism. However, the popularity of these places is growing daily.
Routes are laid along some sights and locations, and the abundance of places far from civilization will bring its charm to your vacation. Many tourists are deliberately looking for hard-to-pass trails, away from the developed routes.
The history of the origin of Hell is also interesting.
The urban chronicle began not with a tiny settlement, but with a store that was built near the bridge in the first half of the last century. Its owner was the Icelander Thorstein Bjornsson. The entrepreneur guessed the project so well that soon everyone who passed through the river not only went to the store, but also began to develop the territories.
Soon, residential buildings, streets and all the necessary infrastructure facilities appeared in the city. A little later, other industrialists and entrepreneurs began to build their facilities here, which further strengthened the economy and social sphere of Hell. The monument to the founder of the city was erected 50 years after the opening of the notorious store.
In addition to Hekla in the city of Hella, whose webcams can be viewed in real time, you can visit the Landmannalaugar nature reserve, where a large number of unusual geoformations of various colors are concentrated.
Separately, it is worth mentioning the Torsmerk valley, which is surrounded on all sides by picturesque peaks, glaciers, gorges and reservoirs. It is considered to be one of the most visited locations in Iceland.
Fans of ancient architecture should see the church, which organically blends into the endless green meadows.
Along with eco-tourism, golf is popular in Hella, as well as horseback riding, visiting an entertainment complex with a swimming pool, and, of course, fishing tours.
You can get here by bus from Reykjavik, or by private car, moving along the main bypass road of the country.
