Escape the crowds and discover one of East Iceland's hidden treasures, Strútsfoss, one of the tallest waterfalls in the country. The journey is as beautiful as the destination, with a roughly 7.4-kilometer (4.6-mile) hike that takes about two to three hours for the round trip. You'll follow a well-marked trail through a stunning canyon, with the powerful, two-tiered waterfall revealing itself as you get deeper into the valley. The dramatic red layers of rock in the cliffs create a breathtaking backdrop for this majestic cascade.
