Borgarvirki viewpoint

Borgarvirki viewpoint

Meaning ‘fortress’ this is a columnar basalt formation standing 10-16m above the surrounding land. Inside is a depression with the remains of some stone huts, while stone walls line the top of the basalt cliffs. No one knows who made the structure, nor indeed if it was a fortress at all. Whatever the truth, it’s a marvellous viewpoint in clear weather.
