历史与背景
Öskjuhlíð ('Ash Hill') named for volcanic ash deposits. The hill was barren until afforestation began 1950s as experiment by Reykjavík Forestry Association. Perlan hot water tanks built 1930s–1940s, glass dome added 1991. The forest has become one of Reykjavík's most-used recreation areas.
Öskjuhlíð hill rises to 61 metres above sea level in southwest Reykjavík, about 2 km from city centre. The hill is topped by Perlan museum (built atop six hot water tanks) and surrounded by planted forest. **Forest:** Planted from 1950s onward with Alaskan lodgepole pine, Sitka spruce, birch and other species. The goal was afforestation research — testing which tree species could survive Iceland's climate. The experiment succeeded, creating one of Reykjavík's rare wooded areas. **Trails:** Network of walking/jogging paths (~5 km total) winding through forest from Perlan to Nauthólsvík beach. Trails are well-maintained, mostly flat or gentle slopes. Popular with joggers, dog-walkers, families. **Perlan:** Museum and observation deck at summit (see separate attraction entry). **Nauthólsvík Beach:** Geothermal beach at base of hill (see separate attraction entry). The forest is particularly atmospheric in winter when snow settles on pine branches and the paths are quiet.
民间故事
故事与民间故事
Trees are rare in Iceland — the country was once forested, but Viking-era settlers cut everything down for fuel and building material, and the trees never recovered. Today only ~2% of Iceland is forested. Öskjuhlíð is one of Reykjavík's few wooded areas — a planted forest of Alaskan pine, Sitka spruce and birch covering a hill in southwest Reykjavík. The planting began in the 1950s as an experiment in afforestation, and it worked: today the forest is thick enough to feel like wilderness. The trails wind through the forest from Perlan at the summit down to Nauthólsvík geothermal beach at sea level. Locals jog here year-round, walk their dogs, bring children to play in the trees. It's peaceful, green, and feels profoundly un-Icelandic — which is exactly why Reykjavík residents love it.
你知道吗？
The trees on Öskjuhlíð are imports — none are native Icelandic species (Iceland's only native tree is dwarf birch). The forest is an entirely human-created landscape.

The Winter Snow-Covered Forest
When snow settles on the pine trees in winter, Öskjuhlíð becomes genuinely magical — silent, white, peaceful. The most un-Icelandic landscape in Iceland.
The Dog-Walker Morning Ritual
Early mornings (7–8am) the trails are full of locals walking dogs before work — it's the friendliest, most social time on the trails.
