Worth a visit. It's best to take the bridge over it.

View of Elliðavatn

Highlight • Viewpoint

On of the best view point among the many trails going through Heiðmörk forest! Be carefull it can be very muddy in Spring.
From the first snow untill April, it is better to go there with studded tyres.

Several cycle paths cross here. The board / map gives a good overview. Unfortunately I forgot to take a photo.
Followed the red trail north. Very comfortably laid out and well signposted.

Fossvogsbakkar Shipwreck

Highlight • Structure

The shipwreck is clearly visible from the lookout point. It's not recommended to climb down to avoid damaging the coastline.
