MOUNT ESJA

The majestic aura of Mount Esja Makes it one of the most beautiful places in Reykjavik that you could ever find during your Iceland trip. Mountain Esja is the crown jewel in Reykjavik’s skyline and is known for offering a hiking turf for both locals and tourists alike.

For tourists, Esja is a natural workout station, with acute slopes testing your strength in every step, and its majestic views making it all worthwhile. The flat-topped 914 meters high mountain is 6.21 miles from the capital city of Reykjavik. The mountain hike is for both casual and pro hikers. However, limit yourself to going above the Steinn point. As beyond this point, it is a choice limited to experienced climbers and hikers only.

Location: Þverfellshorn ranges, Iceland.

Price: $282 entree fee.
