Bifröst: Places of Interest
Baula
Open
Location: at about 50 km to the north of Borgarnes on road no. 1
Baula is a volcanic mountain of a very special pyramidic form. It measures 934 m in height. The mountain is a 3 million years old intrusion, consisting of liparit stone.
For people in good shape, it is well possible to hike up on the mountain. But its sides are very steep and there are big and loose stones on the way.
On the other hand, the view of the top is very rewarding and you can write into a guestbook there. Other places of interest in the area Glanni Waterfall , Paradise Hollow , Grabrok Crater , Reykholt
