Stórurð

Highlight • Natural Monument

There are 2 approaches, one east side, the other west side. This one was described as "safest" and "shortest".
If you want to go directly to the lake, you can cross some rivers.

A little effort for a very nice reward.
The site of the mountain lake is exceptional.
