To my surprise, Kvernufoss often gets overlooked by tourists. It's located basically right next to the popular Skógafoss waterfall it offers way quieter and more intimate experience for those willing to take easy 15-20 min hike to reach it.


🅿️ Parking: Free at the museum or closer to the trail which is Paid (750isk via parka)

🚶Distance: 1.5km/0.9mi

🥾Hike: Trail starts at Skógasafn Museum

💡Tips: It's even possible to walk behind the falls for a unique perspective and some epic photo opportunities.
❄️ Winter: Usually accessible
