    Hiking

    Hverfjall is one of the most symmetrical craters on Earth, the typical volcano as we have always imagined it. The climb is steep but fully doable in 15/20 minutes from the paid parking lot below, after which you can walk the path along the entire crater in about an hour. For the more daring, it is also possible to descend into the crater. A visit is also recommended in the middle of the night, when everything is even more magical.
