    This waterfall, about 1.5km from the parking lot, you should definitely visit. Due to the basalt formations, this 20m high waterfall has something mystical.

      The Svartifoss flows over an edge that is formed by uniform basalt columns. It is not the only waterfall in Iceland of this type, but it is clearly the most beautiful. A visit is practically a must, especially in winter, as the long icicles and bluish shimmering ice sculptures create a unique winter backdrop.

        The hiking trail to the waterfall is well developed. If you then go further to the plateau, it becomes quieter and rougher again. It's worth a visit.
