Skiing lodge in Tindastóll - Einhyrningur, Northwest Iceland Map

Lagt er af stað frá skíðasvæði Tindastóls. Í byrjun er leiðin brött en vel þess virði þar sem við tekur sléttara undirland og glæsilegt útsýni yfir Skagafjörð og Sauðárkrók. Gengið er austur yfir Stólinn að Eynhirningshorni. Þar er varða og gestabók þar sem einnig er tilvalið að tylla sér og fá sér nesti áður en haldið er sömu leið til baka.

Description

Eglish: The starting point is from the Skiing lodge in Tindastóll. The trail starts with a short steep chapter but is well worth a nice hike and amazing view over Skagafjörður and Sauðárkrókur. At the top you'll find a cairn and a box close to it with a guestbook. You take the same path to starting point.
