Scenic volcanic crater hike in Iceland

Sightseeing

Message from Dani Guindo

Saxhóll Crater is a popular stop on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, just a short drive from Hellissandur. It's an easy hike up the 100m high crater with steps and a walking path for a smooth ascent. From the top, you'll be treated to stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and the surrounding lava fields. It's a great spot to see how volcanic activity has shaped Iceland's landscape. Plus, it's a much easier alternative to the longer hike to Eldborg crater nearby. So, if you're looking for a quick and rewarding adventure, Saxhóll is the way to go!
