A rock eroded and isolated in the sea that is 15 m high in Vatnsnes.
In Vatnsnes, don't miss Hvítserkur, an eroded rock isolated in the sea. At 15 metres high and with a wave-cut base, Hvítserkur stands in the waves like some petrified prehistoric monster on three legs. Legend has it that Hvítserkur was originally a three-legged troll, on its way to bombard the monastery of Þingeyrar with large rocks. But the troll was surprised by the sunrise which turned him into stone. A signpost indicates the way down, and it takes 5 to 10 minutes to walk to it.

Superbe lieu avec cette roche sortie des eaux et la plage de sable noir. Ne pas hésiter à descendre sur la plage pour voir la roche d'en bas. Et surtout il faut prendre le temps de se promener sur la plage pour voir les phoques.
