Gaukshofdi (Gaukshöfði) Panoramic Viewpoint
Gaukshofdi (Gaukshöfði) Panoramic Viewpoint
From road 32 take a very short detour leading to a hill called Gaukshofdi - the detour is actually the old road, which was bypassed to avoid the hill. It's an easy walk up to the top of the hill where a wide panorama of the Þjorsárdalur valley unfolds, with the omnipresent and infamous Hekla volcano in the background. There is a cliff below the viewpoint so keep away from the edge.
