Grábrók crater

Grábrók is an explosive volcano that rises to over 170 metres and is the largest of the three craters on the site. Grábrók is part of the Ljosufjoll volcanic system, which stretches for 90 km and is one of the longest volcanic systems in Iceland. It was formed about 3,400 years ago in a fissure eruption. The crater is surrounded by an impressive lava field covered in shiny moss, known as Grábrókarhraun.

This itinerary is on the borderline between a walk and a viewpoint. The ascent takes no more than 15 minutes and is made on a path with wooden steps. Once at the top, the view of the region is magnificent: you can admire Mount Vikrafell, moss-covered lava fields and lupine fields.
