One of the lesser known, but one of our favorite, waterfalls in Iceland is the kvernufoss. This waterfall is located just around the corner of Skogafoss but way less crowded. So no reason not to visit, right? To reach this waterfall you have to navigate to the Skógar museum. Here you can park your car and start the short hike to the waterfall. You first have to walk further east, where you have to climb a step to get past the fence. From here you just keep on following the trail over a little hill and then the waterfall will appear at the end of the gorge.

The whole scenery is so stunning, like you’re walking around on the set of The Hobbit. And just like at Seljalandsfoss you can walk behind the waterfall, but prepare yourself again to be splashed by the spray of the waterfall.
