Itinerary description

Great 3 hours hiking (7,7km) on Akranes towns mountain. This is a circle hike on the south summit, lower than the north one but my favorites. Also a narrow path under the summit possible to walk under the cliffs with great view to sea and the capital city Reykjavik. And surly not difficult the main hike but with the narrow path I mark it as such.
