Walking up Thufa
Thufa (Þúfa) in Reykjavik is designed by the Icelandic artist Ólöf Nordal in 2013. Thufa is a large, grassy, dome shaped hillock, 8 meter high and 26 meters in diameter. This grassy mound was constructed out of 4500 tons of gravel.
From the ground, there is a spiral path around the hill to walk up to the top. At the top, there is a tiny shack similar to the old shacks that Icelanders used to dry fish.
Thufa is set at the harbor mouth in the Grandi area and offers fine views of the Old Harbor, Faxa Bay, Harpa and Mount Esja.
This public art is meant to be walked up.
