Attractions : Thrihyrningur

Thríhyrningur, (in English meaning “the Three-Horned-Mountain”) lies within plain view of Hotel Ranga and is only about 15km distant. It is a monument in South Iceland and visible from great distances. It is a great mountain to ascend and hike up to the top. The hike takes about 3 hours for experienced hikers - when favorable conditions exist. The ground on the trail can be a bit loose during the ascent – why good hiking boots, a hiking cane and a decent water supply are a must. No one will be denied their ultimate satisfaction after reaching the top to view the stunning panoramic outlying landscape of South Iceland. 

The mountain is also the setting of many local legends and was also mentioned many times in the classic book Njáls Saga. Be sure to check for the best hiking routes and the weather conditions before trying to hike up this mountain.
