Kristian
This was our first stop in our itinerary around Lake Mývatn. Free close parking in front of the visitor centre. Multiple trails exists, we've taken the shorter trail which takes you around the closest pseudo craters in a loop with nice vistas over the imminent lake and Hverir geothermal far in the background. Allocate between 30mins to 1 hours depending on your pace. It's nice but not overly impressive thus if pressed in time, drop this definitely in favor of Dimmuborgir and Hverfjall.

Free parking near the entrance to this beautiful place. The short round-trip is less than 1,5 km and the views are incredible. Some shops, public toilets and refreshments nearby.
Miriam
Lovely place to walk around and enjoy the views. A few bugs still in early September, but manageable.

Skútustaðagígar is a fantastic and quick stop on the south side of Lake Mývatn. It's an easy walk from the parking lot, and the stunning views make it well worth the brief detour. From the top, you'll be treated to a breathtaking panorama of Lake Mývatn, surrounded by vibrant green fields where Icelandic horses often graze. The craters themselves are a geological marvel, formed by steam explosions when molten lava flowed over the wetlands. It's an incredible example of volcanic activity and a beautiful spot to take some photos and appreciate the unique landscape. Highly recommended for a short, scenic break!

This is a natural attraction near the southwest shores of Lake Myvatn that you can access from the Visitor Centre carpark. What you find is a field of pseudo craters were formed during the volcanic eruptions of Lúdentaborgir and Þrengslaborgir around 2,300 years ago. You will find trail information at the main trailhead. There are several trails of various lengths that pass through the pseudo crater field. You can walk up several of them and look inside, not a lot to see of the pseudo craters compared to nearby crater called Hverfjall and the craters tend to look more definitive from a distance compared to up close but the grounds are still fairly interesting geologically. There is quality birdlife in this area as well if you have interest and a set of binoculars.
