555 shallow steps take you to the top of this crater of a dormant volcano, which you can then walk around. There are views of a mini-crater in the bottom of the crater and of another large crater nearby. Takes well under an hour to do the whole climb/walk (though there are other side trails).

We kicked off our Ring Road drive by climbing this crater. This was a fun hike up and walk around. Really beautiful surroundings, so definitely enjoy the view. Give yourself an hour or a little less. The steps up are nicely done and maintained. It can get windy on the crater edge, so mind your footing.

Did this as a convenient stop on the road from Akureyri to the Reyjavik area. My outdoor app told me it was a height gain of 52 feet. Well, it lied! It’s much more of a height gain than that. The craters are ok without being amazing. If you had a birds eye view maybe they would be more impressive. Another annoying thing here is they have installed relatively new wooden steps, problem is, they all blend into each other visually. So if you aren’t paying attention you could easily trip or slip. They really need to paint the edges of these steps for clarity & safety before somebody has an unfortunate accident!
