Einhyrningur
Mt Einhyrningur (750m) is located between the small Tindfjoll Glacier and the bridge across River Markarfljot on the so-called Emstrur Route. The name means “The Unicorn”, and is derived from the shape of this low mountain. Its slopes are rather steep, but it is not too difficult to climb. At the foot of the mountain, on the so-called “Unicorn Plains”, is a hut used by the farmers of the Fljotshlid County, when they round up the sheep in the area late in summer. Driving time between stops is included.
2 hours and 30 minutes

Maelifell
Mælifell stands 200 meters above its surroundings and it is a composite cone volcano formed by volcanic eruptions underneath the Myrdalsjökull glacier. Mælifell has surfaced ca 10,000 years ago as glaciers receded after the last ice age. Apart from walking, Mount Mælifell is reachable only by a 4WD vehicle. It is on the southern Fjallabak road next to the glacier Mýrdalsjökull. The road is usually wet and sometimes completely flooded, making the volcano only accessible from July to the beginning of October. Driving time between stops is included.
