Mt. Hraundrangi in Öxnadalur and farm Auðnir.
There is a lovely grove right by the main road in Öxnadalur valley - Jónas Memorial Grove (Jónasarlundur). It was consecrated in 1996 and dedicated to the memory of Jónas Hallgrímsson. The grove was consecrated that year in memory of the 150th anniversary of Jónas.
You will find a memorial stone in the Memorial Grove with a low-relief of Jónas. Inside the grove, you will also find a view-dial, showing the names of the surrounding mountains. Although the trees have grown so much since the view-dial was put up that they are now totally blocking the view ;)
