    Hiking

    In the information center it is essential to inquire about the state of the road to the Kristínartindar.

    Hiking

    Go anti-clockwise. There are high steps on the east side So it is better to go up on that side.

    Hiking

    Over open heathland, after a few bends (S3) we reach the Sjónarnípa viewpoint with a view of the retreating glacier tongues. From here we continue slightly to steeply uphill in a northerly direction as you hike to the Kristínartindar.
