Bláhnúkur Summit

Highlight • Summit

Great view over the colorful mountains of Landmannalaugar. The climb over the northeast ridge is difficult, the descent on the west side followed by a clockwise arc back to Landmannalaugar is recommended. This tour can be good if you do not want to stay overnight. The Landmannalaugar region is almost overcrowded in summer.
