text: To clarify: I have lived there in my cottage at Skyggnisvegur 16 (where the green detailed square is)  for > 50 years!
  And driven back and forth form Reykjavík thousand's of times.
  
  The forest is called Skyggnis-skógur or Skyggnis-forest. It draws its name from lava rocks with a good view over the forest (Gott Skyggni = good view). When the kids (a looong time ago) were sent to gather the calf's, sheep or horses grazing in the forest they ran first to this small cliff to get a "good view" over the forest.
  From this is the name (noun) Skyggnir - From which the forest gets it name.
  
  When I was drawing the cottage roads and part of the walkways, paths and roads I marked this as a notable viewing-point and POI because of this connection.
  Then there was a good path to this small cliff, but no tourist marking or anything.
  The fencing around is always open for people walking about - To look for horses...
  Fencing is for the sheep, cows and horses, also not at least the trucks that arrive there at wintertime to clean out valuables.
  
  I do not doubt that from the Treasure-chest (Gullkista) over Knife-planes (Hnífavellir) you would also get a good view - Even better if you climbed Bjarnafell (where each crevasse has its name), and a "Castle" on its top.
  
  POI are by hundreds in every place, some are of interest to others, some are hidden (falcon and eagle nests).
  For example the tiny bit of road there close called Kóngsvegur "The kings road" has a much longer and bigger history - I think there was even a book written about it - Perhaps it will become a famous walking-path in the future.
  
  Maybe this was just my sandcastle for markings, and someone went wild over this! - But not over other markings and drawings in the area !? 
  
  If you want guidance to the place I live there close by, #16 - Hardly able to walk now but the brain is OK.
