Hiking

The Skóga River flows down the slopes and ends in a series of twenty waterfalls, the last of which, the Skógafoss, falls from a 61m high cliff, painted green by the vegetation.

Fantastically beautiful waterfall. Go as early or late as possible, otherwise there will be a lot of people in front of Prt

This 60m high waterfall. Next door you can even climb the stairs. From there you have a good view of the waterfall.
