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.

Rocher dans la mer et phoques
Rocher dans l'eau. Si l'on descend en marchant un peu sur la plage on peut apercevoir des phoques qui se prélassent sur l'autre rive et des eiders.

Magnifique au milieu des flots
Ce rocher en forme d'animal se trouve sur une bande de sable, tantôt praticable à pied, tantôt sous les flots.
Majestueux et la plage est magnifique.

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.
