Itinerary description
Jörundarfell er hæsti toppur Vatnsdalsfjalls í Austur-Húnavatnssýslu og er 1038 m hátt. Vatnsdals-fjall er nær 30 km langur fjallgarður sem liggur frá norðri til suðurs og er líklega þekktast fyrir að úr því mun hafa fallið skriðan sem myndaði Vatnsdalshólana sem eru eitt af þremur náttúrufyrirbærum á Íslandi sem sögð eru óteljandi. Af Jörundarfellinu er gríðarlega gott útsýni í allar áttir í góðu skyggni; í suðri sést inn á jökla og í Kerlingarfjöll, í vestri Strandafjöllin, í norður Skagi og Húnaflói og í austurátt blasa við fjöll Skagafjarðar og jafnvel Kerling í Eyjafirði. Leiðin er talsvert krefjandi til göngu og mikilvægt að vera vel búinn og hafa með sér nesti.
Jörundarfell is the highest peak of Vatnsdalsfjall in Austur-Húnavatnssýsla and is 1038 m high. Vatnsdals-fjall is a nearly 30 km long mountain range that runs from north to south and is probably best known for having fallen from the landslide that formed Vatnsdalshólar, which is one of three natural phenomena in Iceland that are said to be innumerable. From Jörundarfell there is a very good view in all directions in good visibility; in the south, you can see glaciers and in Kerlingarfjöll, in the west Strandafjöllin, in the north Skagi and Húnaflói and in the east you face the mountains of Skagafjörður and even Kerling in Eyjafjörður.
The route is quite demanding for hiking and it is important to be well equipped and have a packed lunch.
