Glymur is Iceland’s second-highest waterfall, tucked into the scenic Hvalfjörður. You’ll pass through a small cave, cross a river on a log, and climb steep trails. The effort is worth it for the breathtaking views of the waterfall dropping into the canyon below. The full loop takes about 3–4 hours and is a favorite for its raw beauty and sense of adventure.
