Tips
Þvottahellir, which means “Wash Cave” in Icelandic, is a cave that you encounter during the walk to the Glymur waterfall. To get to the river formed by the waterfall, you first have to climb through this small cave and walk past some rocks. It is an interesting feature of the walk and adds to the adventurous nature of the tour. It is important to be careful when navigating the cave as the terrain can be uneven.
