View of Langisjór

Highlight • Viewpoint

The photo was taken about 2 km away from this track point, below the southern flank of the Sveinstindur. Already here the view over the remote lake is breathtaking.

Sveinstindur Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Sveinstindurhütte is a good starting point for a tour around the Langisjór. The climb to the summit of Sveinstindur is very rewarding - provided the weather is good
