Heinaberg / Hjallanes
Three impressive glacier tongues characterise the area that consist of Heinaberg and Hjallanes. Heinaberg is a perfect setting for a relaxing stroll along a newly formed glacial lagoon in front of Heinabergsjökull glacier or the basalt columns at Heinar.

The Hjallanes loop is a hiking route which goes from the farm in Skálafell towards Skálafellsjökull glacier and back to Skálafell. Hjallanes is within the boundaries of Vatnajökull National Park; a remarkable area due to both glaciology and plants. The loop is about 7 km so estimate 2-3 hours for the hike.
