Litluborgir, Hafnarfjordur
Litluborgir was protected as a natural monument in 2009. The aim of the protection of Litluborgir is to preserve distinctive geological formations on the Hafnarfjörður land. Furthermore, the aim of the protection is to preserve the geological formations in the area due to their high educational value, as Helgafell and its surroundings have long been a popular outdoor activities area.

The natural monument covers an area of 10.6 ha.
