Haukafell

Haukafell is a forestry and outdoor recreation area east of Fláajökull glacier in southeast Iceland. The forestry project began in 1985 and now provides shelter for low-growing vegetation, including berry bushes that are usually ripe in August.

The area is used by locals and visitors for hiking and nature enjoyment. Several trails lead through the sheltered landscape, and a marked hiking route connects Haukafell with Fláajökull, crossing the Kolgrafardalsá river on a footbridge.

Haukafell is close to Road 1 and has a campsite in a scenic setting. Visitors planning to hike towards Fláajökull should check the weather and trail conditions before setting out, as conditions can change quickly near glacier areas.
