Esjan
Situated only 15km from Reykjavík and looking highly scenic, it provides the instant opportunity of climbing an impressive mountain for travellers who came only for a few days to visit Reykjavík and are looking for a venture just outside of the city. There are numerous hiking trails leading up to the top and around the mountain with various levels of difficulty. The paths are clearly marked and well constructed, and you will probably meet local hikers and runners here Read my article about the Esja trail here: www.getlocal.is/blog/hiking-near-reykjavik-on-mount-esja
