Skógafoss is a massive and stunning waterfall in Iceland, boasting a width of 25 meters and a drop of 60 meters. Yes, it is very crowded place but something that you shouldn't miss, especially since it's located right next to the road.

🅿️ Parking: Paid (1.000 isk via parka)

🚶Distance: Short walk 0.4km/0.3mi to the base of the waterfall

🥾Hike: You can also walk up the stairs (steep) up to the viewing platform for some bonus views

  • this is also where the Waterfall Way hike starts (16km/10mi roundtrip hike full of hidden waterfalls)

💡Tips: Bring rain gear if you'd like to get closer to the waterfall
❄️ Winter: The staircase will close if it's too icy
