1 Best Sight in East Iceland and the Eastfjords, Iceland

Páskahellir

A pleasant trail leads through the Fólkvangur Neskaupstaðar nature reserve to reach Páskahellir (Easter Cave in English), where, according to legend, the sun can be seen dancing on Easter morning. Remarkable holes in the cave are impressions left by trees covered with lava in an ancient volcanic episode that occurred around 12 million years ago. The views east towards Barðsneshorn with the red rhyolite glow of Rauðaberg are worth stopping to take in. Be cautious when descending the steps to the cave; they can get slippery with sea spray.
