Climbing Bláhnúkur offers many fantastic views of the colourful rhyolite mountains of the Fjallabak area. In the distance you can also see the three large glacier caps Vatnajökull, Hofsjökull and Langjökull.
The path is easy to recognize as a trail but partly exposed.
Author’s recommendation
In the midsummer nights climb Bláhnúkur in the late evening. Then you are alone on the summit and experience a never ending sunset.
