    The mountain just west of Skogafoss. Steep hike, mostly on grass. A bit of scrambling on shortcuts, but nothing extreme. Sheep graze all the way to the summit. Views of Skógafoss, Vestmannaeyar and highlands.

    Easy walk through various scenery. Most part of the way goes along the Laugavegur-hiking path. Meaning that there are huts and camping grounds and fees to pay for camping - but no provisions. No shops, no restaurants.
