    Hiking

    The vantage point with a view of the glacier is quite easy to reach from the parking lot.
    Translated by
    The glacier world can be experienced up close on the Svínafellsjökull via the short hiking trail marked here, without the need for special equipment or qualifications.

    Here you can get very close to the Svínafellsjökull glacier. Since the main parking lot is further southwest, hardly anyone comes here. We were here at the end of September and we were alone. There were a few tourists milling around the main parking lot. So it's exactly the right place if you want to enjoy the landscape in peace and quiet.
