    Great view over the colorful mountains of Landmannalaugar. The climb over the northeast ridge is difficult, the descent on the west side followed by a clockwise arc back to Landmannalaugar is recommended. This tour can be good if you do not want to stay overnight. The Landmannalaugar region is almost overcrowded in summer.

      Please only climb the summit with good hiking boots and possibly hiking poles (approx. 3 hours round trip) Magnificent views of the colorful Liparit Mountains all around.
      The Bláhnúkur is a volcano in the Icelandic highlands that is almost a thousand meters high. Between it and the Laugahraun lava field lies the Graenagil gorge, through which several hiking trails lead.
