Here you have a 360°**** panorama of the Black Sandur, with the Skeiðarárjökull glacier, the disturbing contours of the Kristinartindar and, in clear weather, far to the west, the Mýrdalsjökull. In the south, the ocean and the wild Skeiðará sparkle.

Hiking

After the waterfall, walk to the Sjonarsker viewpoint and then take the left path: route with beautiful views and much quieter in terms of tourists
