Places of Interest
Tindur
Tindur rises imposingly from the Tindfjoll mountains to the southeast of the Tindfjallajokull glacier. There are magnificent views from the mountain. You can see the Thorsmork nature area, two glaciers on the south coast, and Mt. Hekla - Iceland's most frequently erupting and most famous volcano.
The Tindfjoll mountains are a paradise for back-country skiing. Icelandic mountaineers have long enjoyed the wealth of climbing and skiing opportunities that have been available in the area since the first mountain cabins were built in the 1940s under the guidance of Gudmundur from Middalur - the pioneer of mountaineering in Iceland.
