On my last day in Iceland, I went up the Esja, which is the mountain range north of Reykjavik. There are various trails there with a great view on the city. It is possible to get to the start of one of the trails using only Strætó buses:
- From the Hlemmur terminal, take the 15 to Háholt in Mosfellsbaer (the stop is in front of a KFC).
- From Háholt, take the 57 towards Akranes: Tell the driver you want to go to the Esja. He will drop you where you need to go.
The trail there goes to a peak called Þverfellshorn. Most of it is a steep but regular walk. The last part to get to the top is more challenging.
When I got there, at the edge of the mountain, the view on Reykjavik was great:
Further from the edge, there was a lot of fog and the landscape looked really strange:
I took many photos. Some of them are shown after the jump.
I was in Iceland for a few days last week. I had wanted to go there for a long time. It was great.

I took many other photos. Some are shown after the jump.
