Mountainbiking

It is close to the town of Hafnarfjörður, about 55 minutes by bike from Reykjavík. Although it is not very high, at approximately 340 metres above sea level, it is a popular hiking destination due to its panoramic views and easy access. It is part of the Krýsuvík volcanic system, which explains its rocky terrain and the presence of ancient lava flows in its surroundings. It has marked hiking routes that are not too demanding, ideal for hikers of all levels. On a clear day, from the summit you can see Reykjavík, Hafnarfjörður and even the Atlantic Ocean.
