This impressive mountain with its magnificent colors is located in Landmannalaugar. It can be reached by hiking the small round hike in Landmannalaugar. Its color formation reminds of the rainbow mountain in Peru.

There is a hiking path leading up the about 850m high Brennisteinsalda mountain but to be honest I rather looked at it than hiking up. In the end hiking any mountain in Landmannalaugar is amazing as it offers you a view point over all these colored mountains which are unique in any kind of way.

Landmannalaugar region is my personal favorite region on this planet and definitely woth a visit.
