Book NowStory & Folklore
Keilir is a perfectly symmetrical volcanic cone rising 379 metres above the Reykjanes lava fields — so geometrically regular that it looks like an illustration of a volcano. The mountain was formed in a series of eruptions on the Reykjanes volcanic system. The hike to the summit takes 2–3 hours return on a well-marked trail through the Heiðmörk lava field. The summit cone gives a panoramic 360-degree view: Reykjavík to the north, the Reykjanes geothermal areas to the south, Snæfellsnes on the horizon to the northwest, and the entire lava plain of the peninsula spread out below. A popular evening hike from Reykjavík for the city's active outdoor community.
