How long is the Úlfarsfell hike?

How do I get to the Úlfarsfell trailhead?
Úlfarsfell is in Reykjavík Area. Use the map on this page for the trailhead coordinates and check live road conditions before you drive — some trailheads sit on gravel or F-roads that need a 4×4 and only open in summer.
Is Úlfarsfell safe to hike alone?
Úlfarsfell sits 4.5 km from Mosfellsbær, and 0.8 km from Route 1. The uploader rated it easy and it climbs about 263 m. Iceland trails are often unmarked and weather turns quickly. Tell someone your plan (or file one at safetravel.is), carry a charged phone and layers, check the forecast, and turn back if fog, wind or rising rivers set in. Don’t rely on phone signal.
When is the best time to hike Úlfarsfell?
Most Icelandic hiking is a June–September activity, when trails are snow-free and daylight is long. Highland routes open later and close earlier; check road and trail status before committing.
