On the east coast of Iceland are many places that  I can recomend visiting. Information on some of them can be found on this page.

LANGANES is a large and long peninsula to the east of the Thistilfiord Bay. The undulating landscape, 200-400 m high, gradually narrows to a sharp point called Fontur. The highest mountain, Mt. Gunnolfsvikurfjall, dominates the landscape on the Gunnolf's Cove. On top of that mountain the NATO forces built a radar station, and operated it between 1954 and 1969. Its ruins commemorate Iceland's part in the history of the Cold War period.  Another radar facility was built there and started operation in 1989. 

Borgarfjorður Eystri.
Probably one of the most spectacular and interesting place on the east part of Iceland is the area around Borgarfjordu Eystri, a small village surounded by fascinating landscape and mystic stories.

The Door Mountains (Dyrfjoll) tower over the plain and coast,
which both build on sand from black basalt.
Huge blocks of tuff
from a former volcanic depression, or caldera, have collapsed
from between the glacier-flanked peaks, covering the protected valley Storurd (Stórurð).
marked hiking trails.

In recent years, natives have started to call the
extended hiking region between the inhabited
fjords of Seydisfjordur and Borgarfjordur Viknaslodir,
"trails of the coastal inlets."

Here there are plenty of hideaways for the
hiker, along with mountains, streams and seabirds.
Many hillsides include colourful rhyolite and beautiful rocks.

This rocky hill, right next to Bakkagerði, is source of the fjord's name. Acknowledged home to the fairies, it is said to be the dwelling-place of their queen in Iceland. An easy path leads to the top, where there is a panoramic viewpoint, set up by a society of the fjord's descendants now living in Reykjavík. Álfaborg and environs are protected national property.
Directly to their west lies the village campground.

HERDUBREID.
A table-mountain, regular in form and 1677 m high, dominating the surrounding area in the eastern part of the lava field Odadahraun. Herdubreid is commonly referred to as the "queen of Icelandic mountains".

MJOIFJORDUR.
Probably one of the best kept secret amongst the eastern fjords is Mjoifjordur.
The small friendly village in Mjóifjörður is called Brekkuþorp. A road exits over Mjóafjarðarheiði heath and Slenjudalur valley to Fljósdalshérað.
There are hiking trails from Mjóifjörður
to both of the next fjords, Seyðisfjörður and Norðfjörður.

Dalatangi
Is the outermost point between Mjóifjörður and Seyðisfjörður fjords. There is a farm there, along with a lighthouse first built in 1895.
 
The Eastern Fjords.
The boundaries of the East are drawn between the
towns Bakkafiord to The National Park Skaftafell.
There are 15 fjords with small towns in the east. These fjords are surrounded my mountains and one can find many places for hiking, camping, and mountain climbing in this area. All these villages have good camping grounds and other forms of accommodations.
