Hiking

Húsafell is a hiker's heaven. Alluring trails lie in all directions, and there is always something new to see. There are dense forests, lava formations, crystal-clear springs, dramatic ravines, foaming glacial rivers, diverse fauna and flora, in addition to important relics and vestiges of human settlement which tell innumerable stories of the past and of Man's co-existence with Nature. Travellers will also encounter numerous off-beat sculptures by Páll Guðmundsson, which often set off the landscape in an unobtrusive manner.
You can find easy hiking trails for the whole family, such as the paths through the forest, but there are also steeper trails for hardier souls, including Eiríksjökull Glacier and Ok. People travelling on horseback and bikers will also discover exciting trails. In the summer there are guided hikes and hiking maps are also available showing Húsafell and its surroundings.
