Rangárhnjúkur

Rangarhnjukur (N65°19.410-W14°35.498) // 4 hrs.
Rangárhnjúkur is one of Egilsstaðir’s Pearls, which refers to 30 stunning hiking trails in the region surrounding Egilsstaðir.
It is most convenient to walk up along the old road from Fjallsel farm. When you arrive there turn off the road to the right and walk onto Rangárhnúkur where you will find the cylinder with the visitors’ log and stamp. On the way back it is a good idea to walk down to Egilssel farm and walk on towards Fjallssel farm. Then you will pass Dansgjá which is a peculiar creek or ravine through tall cliffs west of Staffellsbjörg cliffs right off the road and marks the borders of the farms.
