Hólmanes
The road from Reyðarfjörður leads around the Hólmanes peninsula, which is overlooked by the towering 985-meter (3,232-foot-high) Hólmatindur peak. There’s a parking area with benches and viewing platform if you want to pull over and take a photo. The hike to the top of Hólmatindur is challenging, but the views are incredible. There’s also a popular and easy two-hour trail that loops around the nature reserve. Look out for eider ducks, geese, and other birdlife, which make their home there during the summer.
