Natural landmarks of Iceland
Mount Bjólfur rises 1,085 metres above Seyðisfjörður and offers impressive panoramic views across the fjord, the town and the surrounding mountains. A popular hiking route starts at the ski lodge in Stafdalur and follows an old mountain track steadily up the ridge.
The hike is approximately 5.8 km each way, with around 645 metres of elevation gain, and usually takes 3–4 hours for the round trip. The route crosses the Stafdalsá river and passes a waterfall before continuing towards the summit, where hikers will find a cairn and guestbook. Just beyond the highest point is an excellent viewpoint overlooking Seyðisfjörður. Snow can remain on the upper slopes well into summer, making the route best suited to the summer and early autumn months.
