West Iceland Hikes

Litla Bjornsfell 29 05 2010

Kind of long walk towards the mountain itself and then sudden ascent. I would recommend if one plans to do "Stóra Björnsfell" it´s best to do both at same go, unless the weather is like to day (cloudy) I was very interested when I saw in "The book" (Icelandic Mountains, hiking trails to 151 Mt) that a mountain next to Litla Björnsfell is named Haraldstindur (Haralds-peak), but in fact it just looks like a pile of mud ;) pretty high pile though.

Moskardshnjukar Medafellsvatn Day 2 Of 2

Chill start along the river, then turned off the path up to the ridge. No tracks pretty much until the descent from Moskarðshnjukar. A mix of moss, grass, stones and gravel made it heavy work. Once on the ridge, I turn Southwards again and head over the progressively bigger summits. The ridge leading to Trana is fun (see pics). The final climb up the North-East side of Moskarðshnjukar is very hard work. Not particularly difficult or dangerous, but the ground (piles of shale scree) gives way with every step. This is compounded by the overnight bag, headwind and occasional showers. There are some hints of a path but the route is mostly on instinct. Finally arrive at the summit with great views and the drop down to the river. Tough hike, but good training :) (Would be a lot more enjoyable in the opposite direction) (P.s. getting sick on day 1 made todays tricky hike more draining)

Sydstasula Haasula Hvalvatn Day 2 Of 2

Today's gradient is a lot easier but the conditions way tougher. Failing to get back to sleep I decide to get up at 5, and start hiking at 06:30. I make my way through an open riverbed heading Southwest beneath Vestursúla. I then cut the corner accross to the main Southbound track. The combination of warmth, no wind, deep moss and manic flies makes for a maddening 45min. Finally round the corner the terrain becomes easier, descending but now into a heavy crosswind. The km tick by and the rain increases. The final 2h are filled mostly with heavy downpours head on. Not my finest hour, literally, I really want a break. Finally the clouds lift slightly as the with views of þingvellirvatn at the finishing line. A great 2-day hike, and what a mountain range! Looking forward to visiting Botnssnúlur again soon.

Laugarvatn Bruarfoss Uthlid

Easy hike. Most of the time the gps was needed because there was no visible trail, it passes by the amazing and beautiful Bruarfoss. There was 1 river I had to pass walking into the near -to-frozen water. The end of this hike is a camping site with hot tubs.

Hadegisfell

It’s a relatively easy hike with a river crossing at the beginning and some steeper parts but easily manageable.

Bruarfoss

Brúarfoss, nice stroll. You can leave your car even further, until the end of the road, approximately 500 mt further than my start point. The path is sometimes a bit difficult to follow just because there are a lot of small paths and it's difficult to choose what is the right one, but no fear! Almost all paths lead to the waterfall. Be aware that it can be very muddy when it rains.

Klofningsfjall 19 04 2011

Clear weather and on paper very easy mountain, however, snow was deep which made it moderate and good training. Nice view to many of the islands in Breiðafjörður, but once you get up it´s just a plateau which looks more like snow desert this time of year and not very interesting for hiking/mountainering.

Tour Around Stykkisholmur

The beautiful village of Stykkishólmur is often an overnight stop for tourists, but it is also worth taking a look at the village itself. Armed with a map from Wikiloc, I looked up the attractions of the village and improvised this route myself. The eye-catcher is of course the lighthouse that stands on a small hill overlooking the village. It also gives a nice view over the small harbor where the ferry is situated that sails to the Westfjords. The modern church is also worth a stop as this is one of the more daring churches in Iceland in terms of design. In the village center there are some historic houses such as the Norwegian House and Volcano Museum. At the Library of Water a climb brings you up to a top where you have a nice view over the village and the church. Stykkishólmur is also a great place to do street photography.

Snokur 12 Jan 2010 18 12

Hiked from the farmtow Neða skarð following good path "Skarðsheiði"(possible to drive some part) upp most of the altitude.

Klakkshaus

This is a fantastic hike from the road access near the coast up the back side of a small mountain onto the plateau top. Pleasant easy start, well marked with small posts, becomes difficult near the top with very steep sections and loose rock and gravel. Once onto the plateau you can can easily walk around to all sides. There are beautiful scenic views of both sides of the peninsula, including Kirkjufell and Grundarfjörður to the southwest. We were tourists and I recall we found this trail on a map at the visitor centre in Grundarfjörður. Great full day hike.

Presthnukur Vid Geitlandsjokul

We went about 27 people from "Fjallafélagið" hiking group and summited Prestahnúk west of Langjökull in Iceland 8. june 2025. There was a lot of new snow from a week before and that made a few obstacles on the road leading up to the starting point. So we had only 4x4 with altered tires and suspension. But in normal conditions, a 4x4 jeep is necessary to go there. The hike itself is rather steep and crampons and iceaxe were necessary.
