Gjáin
A small canyon hidden in a lava plateau, where streams, small waterfalls and mossy green meadows intertwine. It was a filming location for Game of Thrones.
Gjáin lies near the Stöng ruins. Flowing water has cut a lush green little canyon through the lava, full of small waterfalls, streams and volcanic rock caves, like a fairy-tale scene. Season 4 of Game of Thrones was filmed here. From the Stöng car park it is a 10-15 minute walk, but the final stretch to Stöng is an F-road, usually open only in summer and requiring a 4WD. Admission is free. Please do not step on the moss.
