    The easternmost part of the Esja massif is made up of a series of rhyolite cones known as Móskarðahnjúkar. Because of the light-coloured rocks it always seems from Reykjavik that the sun is shining on these summits - not...

    This is probably the most common track to the Esja plateau. It is a fairly easy walk. However from “steinn” to the top the track is rather steep and can be a challenge during wintertime, especially if it is hard snow and...

    This is a easy hike. I did it in quite a lot of snow, so my track is not the shortest and fastest. The view from the top, which is not high at all, is excellent in good weather

    Helgafell is very easy to hike on. Put there are several "peaks". One as a concrete column for geographical measurements and another one has a guest book to sign in. Nice view over Mossfelsbær town.

    Quite steep in the beginning after that a nice hike with a nice view
