Grímannsfell, towering above the river Köldukvísl, stands at 482 meters above sea level, making it one of the tallest mountain in Mosfellsbær. The journey begins at Helgufoss's parking lot and leads to an easy ascent to Stórhóll's summit. Well-trodden paths to Helgufoss offer a perfect spot to pause and appreciate the scenery. The route continues across the Köldukvís bridge, and along the way, several smaller streams are crossed before approaching the mountain's steep ascent. The path is clearly marked, leading to the peak where a breathtaking panorama unfolds, showcasing Hellisheiði, Mosfellsheiði, Esjan, and the capital region. Retrace your steps along the same trail to return to the parking lot.
