Grábrók Craters are protected volcanic craters in Borgarfjörður. They were protected in 1962.

Marked paths and stairs provide access while reducing erosion. The site can be combined with a visit to Borgarnes.

The walking route provides excellent views across the surrounding lava field and countryside. The site is popular because visitors can experience a classic Icelandic volcanic crater on a relatively short walk. Staying on the constructed paths is essential to reduce erosion.

Protection purpose

The purpose of protecting the Grábrók craters is to preserve the craters and their distinctive volcanic landscape.

Description

The Grábrók craters are prominent volcanic features in Borgarfjörður and a popular location for nature viewing and geological interpretation.

Regulations

Visitors should use stairs and marked trails to minimise erosion.
