Guidebook for Stykkishólmur
Parks & Nature
Legend has it that if you take a hike on this small mountain without saying a word all the way up and never look behind you then you can make 3 wishes on top of Helgafell mountain.
It is an easy and a rather short hike. But it is worth it for the wishes and the view that you get from the top.
