The Best Sight in Mývatn Region, North Iceland

The marked trail to the cairn-topped summit of Mount Windbag—an appropriately named 529 meter (1,735 feet) peak—takes around 30 minutes to hike and zigzags through thickets of heather and up steep scree slopes. The wind warning is in the title, so dress appropriately and wear decent walking boots, as the scree slopes are slippery. For the sweeping views of the lake and craters from the top, it’s well worth the time and effort. Access is via a gravel parking lot off Route 1.
