Gunnhildur and Vífilstaðarhlíð

A popular 6 km walking, jogging, and cycling route which starts at the parking lot by Vífilsstaðavatn. The trail follows a well-defined path up Vífilsstaðahlíð, leading to a stone cairn called Gunnhildur. This well-trodden route is surrounded by vast stretches of lupine fields. From the cairn, there is an excellent view of the capital area, making it an ideal spot to take a short break and enjoy the scenery. The route continues along the trail until reaching a viewing platform. From there, the path veers right and goes through a wooded area until it connects with a service road, which leads downhill. At the bottom of the slope, a right turn is taken, following the path along Vífilsstaðahlíð all the way back to the parking lot at Vífilsstaðavatn.
