The Hamraskogar Forest is a patch of wood to the north of the so-called Husadalur and Langidalur Plains, which were almost eroded past repair, but were miraculously rescued by a volunteer sowing and fertilizing project during the last two or three decades of the 20^th century.

This wooded area stretches north to River Thronga, where the Almenningar summer pastures take over.  In the lowest part of the wooded area seven birch trees form a group called “The Seven Sisters”.  A short distant further east the wild gorge Tindfjallagil opens up near River Thronga.  The hiking trail “Laugavegur” between Thorsmork and Landmannalaugar passes through the Hamraskogar Forest.
