    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...

    There's no doubt about it - Esja is my favourite mountain. it only takes 20 minutes to drive there from Reykjavík, it offers an endless variety of routes - what more can I say? this was a trip I did with a friend in summ...

    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

    Located pretty close to Reykjavik, this mountain was ideal for an evening stroll in February when the number of daylight hours is at its lowest. I remember the sunset having been particularly pretty - as was the view of ...

    One of the components of the Esja massif is Kistufell, a chest-like formation (thus the name). A friend and I ascended the SW corner of the south face of Kistufell, then descended via the Gunnlaugsskarð pass. A nice hike...

    I did this hike one evening in October of 2005, I remember coming across a huge flock of ptarmigan. An easy circuit of some very pretty rhyolite peaks.

    Farið er út af Þingvallavegi rétt fyrir neðan Seljabrekku. Þar er skilti, svolítið langt frá Þingvallavegi, sem á stendur Helgufoss og Bringur. Slóðinn er leiðinlegur. Þegar kemur að rafmagnslínuni er bílnum lagt og gang...
