Gluggafoss is the twelfth major waterfall that you can see if you walk along the path upstream from Skógafoss. After passing Kæfufoss there is a long stretch of trail where no waterfalls are immediately visible, as the slope decreases slightly and the trail moves away from the river. Although there is another waterfall between the two, we couldn't find a safe location to view it. So this will be the next easily accessible waterfall in the seemingly endless chain. Here the river falls over 40 feet over a circular plug of volcanic rock, with a fascinating three-way segmentation that includes a hole in the center of the rock where part of the river plunges straight through the rock (however, this is submerged during periods of heavy circumstances).

Best to continue hiking to the Geothermal National Park. Well worth it for a nice view.
