Landmannahellir, Cave at the foot of Hellisfjall mountain, South Iceland
The Landmannahellir cave extends 14 meters in length and 8 meters in width, featuring a ceiling that reaches 4 meters in height.
Throughout centuries, the cave served as an essential shelter for farmers and travelers passing through the highlands, protecting them from severe weather conditions.
The location marks the intersection of several hiking paths, including the Hellismannaleið trail that connects Rjúpnavellir through Áfangagil to Landmannalaugar.
Access to the cave requires driving on the Dómadalsleið road F225, which spans 80 kilometers from Landvegamót to the site location.
The cave sits within the influence zone of Hekla volcano, surrounded by moss-covered terrain and neighboring features like Löðmundur mountain and Löðmundarvatn lake.
