Akrafjall is a volcanic mountain. It boasts two main summits, with the highest peak reaching 643 meters. Hiking enthusiasts can tackle a trail leading to the summit, offering stunning views from Reykjanes to Snaefellsjokull Glacier. The cliffs of Akrafjall are a popular nesting spot for birds like the great black-backed gull and Icelandic fulmar. Legend has it that a notorious thief once hid on the mountain to escape justice, outsmarting a search party in the process.
