Hiking
A short path leads from the parking lot to the viewing platform with a view of the peculiar rock formation in the sea. At low tide you can walk on the black beach to the rock.

Hiking
According to an Icelandic legend, the rock is a troll that was petrified by the sun when it threw stones at the Þingeyrar monastery.
A seal colony can be seen nearby. Access is via the descent from the car park (keep to the right). The descent from the viewing platform is dangerous. The ascent is possible in dry weather.
