Kvernufoss, is a hidden gem that offers a quieter experience far from the usual crowds. Surrounded by high cliffs, this enchanting waterfall tumbles gently into a narrow canyon, creating a serene atmosphere that feels remote and untouched. The journey to Kvernufoss involves a picturesque walk through verdant fields, often lined with wild grasses and dotted with colorful Icelandic flowers. As you approach the waterfall, the sound of the water gently cascading envelops you, and the beauty of the scenery unfolds gradually, inviting contemplation and peace.

At Kvernufoss, there's a unique opportunity to wander behind the waterfall, where the aural experience transforms into something truly awe-inspiring. Standing beneath the waterfall's veil, you can appreciate the force of nature in a different light, experiencing the serenity that envelops you in this secluded location. The mist softens the air, and the enchanting view from behind the flowing water provides a stunning perspective of the surrounding cliffs and landscapes.

There is a free parking area near Skogar Museum, while the waterfall is located about 600m walk from the carpark.
