Mike V. • September 4, 2018There's a ladder over an electric fence to go look at a lake. It's beautiful, but so is everything else and you can see it from the road. Most people spend about ten minutes here.

Michael W. • August 7, 2014This is a neat man made hill by the harbour. The path is a little skinny, so watch out for people coming the other way! You can also walk out to the little yellow lighthouse just a little ways further

Risiana L. • February 10, 2015Have a look at this beautiful statue when visiting Halgrimmskirkja.

Maria K. • June 16, 2015Didn't see it in the winter time when it lights up. Still pretty cool.

Sami S. • April 6, 2013Really great hike to do close to Reykjavik. You can take a bus here or if you've rented a car it's an easy 30 min drive there. It's definitely a good workout and gets steep towards the end. Good views

Risiana L. • February 7, 2015Fantastic horse riding organisation! Super friendly and well experienced staff! A "must do" when in Reykjavík!

Jóhann Ævar • July 19, 2012Iceland's most obscure landmark, the graffiti Flatus Lifir (Flatus lives) has been on this wall in some form or another since 1991, with a myriad of urban legends sprouting to explain its origins.

Dóttir S. • April 17, 2013Tolinmædi virkar best :)
