Path in Heiðmörk

Highlight • Trail

Heiðmörk, nestled near Reykjavík, is a tranquil haven that beckons nature enthusiasts seeking respite from the bustling city. This expansive nature reserve encompasses lush forests, rolling hills, and serene lakes, providing a serene retreat just a stone's throw away from the capital. As visitors explore the winding trails, they are embraced by the calming sounds of rustling leaves and chirping birds. The scent of pine fills the air, and sunlight filters through the dense canopy, casting dappled shadows on the forest floor. Heiðmörk offers a harmonious blend of relaxation and outdoor adventure, inviting locals and tourists alike to immerse themselves in its unspoiled beauty.

View of Elliðavatn

Highlight • Viewpoint

On of the best view point among the many trails going through Heiðmörk forest! Be carefull it can be very muddy in Spring.
From the first snow untill April, it is better to go there with studded tyres.
