Hiking

Beautiful walk and great views, if you take the right hand side stairs up to the top of the big fall and walk upstream to enjoy more waterfalls.

Hiking

If you climb the approximately 400 steps next to Skogafoss, you'll reach a beautiful hiking trail along the Skoga River. The Fimmförduhals Trail leads you past other small waterfalls and offers breathtaking mountain views. You should definitely add the climb and the trail to your to-do list.
