This is a short and easy hike at the foot of Mt.Vatnsdalsfjall by the farm Hof. The path commences by the information post for Ingimundur gamli, the first settler in the area, The initial 200 m of the path is strawn with woodchips, leading on to a simple uphill trail.
At the end of the trail you can sit down and enjoy the view over the valley Vatnsdalur or the ravine of Grjótá creek. If you feel up to it, a hike further up the slopes or even to the mountain top is well worth the effort.
