Stóri Dímon

Stóri Dímon is located near Eyjafjallajökull. Stóri Dímon has a sister mountain called Litla Dímon. The name is thought to come from Latin, meaning twin mountains or two alike. It has also been said that the word means haystack, which is certainly reminiscent of a haystack surrounded by golden fields. 

The Saga Center of Hvolsvöllur has erected a sign near the mountain, which tells of battles fought in the area during Iceland's settlement in the most famous Icelandic saga, Njálssaga. The mountain is only 178 meters high and is a fun hike for adults and children.
