Hlíðarfjall (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈl̥iːðarˌfjatl̥] ) is a ⓘmountain located west of the Icelandic town Akureyri in Eyjafjörður.[1] The former hotel no longer offers accommodation and is now mostly used for meetings.
Hlíðarfjall is generally considered to be named after Lögmannshlíð, a (formerly important) homestead and church site on the slopes of the mountain (the word hlíð having the meaning "slope").[2]
