Stigafoss is a beautiful, somewhat hidden waterfall that can be reached with a short hike. In a way, this waterfall is similar to Seljalandsfoss, even if smaller. This is mostly because there is a small cave behind it, where you can walk into. Located on road F249 in the south of Iceland, you will need a car suitable for the Icelandic F-roads to reach it. Also, there are at least three small rivers/streams to cross to get there. Possibly more if it recently rained.

So it isn’t the easiest place to reach, which is probably one of the reasons why this waterfall isn’t more popular. Still, if you can visit this off-the-beaten-path location, the time it takes to get there will be well spent. You’ll likely have the waterfall all to yourself!
