From the peak of the mountain (which stands at 605 metres high) you\u2019ll have lovely, uninterrupted views of the bay of Reykjavik and the naturally diverse slopes below.

While the drive from the capital is long and you will have to leave quite early, the trip will be worth it. One of the most popular hikes in the park is the route to Svartifoss, arguably the most unique waterfall in all of Iceland. If you do the full loop it will take you around two hours, depending on your walking speed, but it\u2019ll take longer if you want to stop and take in the amazing views.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Hiking Time:<\/strong> 2 &#8211; 4 hours<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Time from Reykjavik:<\/strong> 4 hours<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Difficulty:<\/strong> Easy (some steep parts, both up and downhill)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/days-to-come\/seven-days-southern-iceland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Perfect 7-Day Itinerary for Southern Iceland<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18166\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18166\" style=\"width: 680px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-18166 lazyload\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/IcelandHikes1-min-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Svartifoss, Iceland\" width=\"680\" height=\"454\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/IcelandHikes1-min-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/IcelandHikes1-min-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/IcelandHikes1-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/IcelandHikes1-min.jpg 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/454;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18166\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The hike around Svartifoss is absolutely gorgeous! | \u00a9 Jesse Warner<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>\n<h2 id=\"Kerid\"><b>Kerid Crater Lake<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking for a short hike that leaves plenty of time for photo ops, the ring around the Kerid Crater is perfect!
