About

About Drangurinn í Drangshlíð

Protected isolated tuff formation with historic built shelters beneath Eyjafjöll.

See an unusual protected rock formation where natural geology, historic farm use and Icelandic folklore meet.

Local folklore says Grettir Ásmundarson tore the great rock from Hrútafell, but this should be understood as a traditional story rather than geology. The surviving shelters beneath the formation are part of its cultural interest. Drangurinn stands on private land, so visitors must respect access and should not approach beyond permitted areas without permission.
