The summit offers great views and a superior photo stop. While climbing remember the 3 steps :1) Touch the grave at the bottom 2) Don't look back your entire trip up and don't utter a single word3) At the summit look east and wish your 3 wishes Don't reveal your wishes or they will never come true! If your passing by you have to stop here!

Definitely an upward climb but the view is great. The grave plot for the 3 wishes is fenced around at the church.

The drive to Helgafell from Stykkisholmur only takes 15 minutes at most. The climb is easy and the view from the top is wonderful of the surrounding countryside of farmland dotted with rivers and lakes. There is a very small ruin at the top that is part of the ancient Icelandic sagas but nothing very spectacular. The small church near the bottom of the hill is worth a visit as well.

I climbed this hill,to find the geocache what is hidden there.Afterwards there was a tour trough the bay as part of a village fest.The view is fantastic. At the base of the hill, there is the ferry,and really nice basalt columns.

My wife and I hiked up Helgafell on a cold, drizzly, blustery Sunday morning in early July. Better, warmer weather would improve the experience.There weren't as many ruins at the top as I thought, but the view was quite nice, especially towards the south with the church, pond, and mountains in the distance. The legend about making wishes (walking up in silence and not looking back) is quaint and certainly worth doing (waiting for my wishes still!). Be warned, the climb is a bit steep.

Helgafell is basically a large lump of rock sticking up out of the plain, and is only 73 metres high, but from the top you can see for miles. The view over the fjord is lovely, with all its little islands. When you descend, go to the lovely little church at the bottom and have a walk around the graveyard. There's an interesting memorial to Gunnar Salomonsson, an Icelandic bodybuilder and strong man, known as Ursus (The Bear) who died in 1960 aged only 53. His gravestone is a lump of rock which presumably he was able to lift!

Just outside of town on the left of the road is this lump of volcanic rock with the ruins of a small church on top. Visit the gravesite at the bottom and climb the hill without either looking back or speaking until reaching the top, face east and silently make your three wishes. Those with a pure heart will be rewarded.

This large hill is fun to climb and you are rewarded by a gorgeous view. The legend and the wishes just add to the fun. We did it late in the afternoon after a day of rain so we had to watch our footing.

Nice old historic area. Surrounded with a small hill and a church. In year 1008 here lived a woman called Guðrún Ósvifursdóttir known from the Icelandic Vikings sagas. It is said she walk up that hill, never looking back and not spoke a word untill up on the hilltop. It is said even today if you follow her path up that hill and do not look back or speak a word you will be granted 3 wishe.! Nice area overall.

i like the mystical part of the walk to the top. if you walk up without talking and without looking back, you will have 3 wishes granted to you. i hope mine come true.it is a lovely spot but i would not drive lots of extra miles to go there.
