Itinerary description
This starts off by following the most common track to the Esja plateau. When you have reached the plateau you continue on the plateau to Kerhólakambur. From Kerhólakambur you descend down to Gljúfurdalur before climbing up to Þverfell. After Þverfell it is descend back to where you started off.
This is a nice walk especially if the weather is good, because the 360 degree (more or less) view on the Esja plateau is magnificent. It is a bit more challenging than walking Þverfellshorn, but the extra view you get on the plateau compared with Þverfellshorn, does alone make it well worth the extra effort.
