Hikers visiting Svartifoss will encounter two waterfalls on the way to the main attraction: Magnúsarfoss and Hundafoss. The Magnúsarfoss is the smaller of the two, measuring about 10 meters (about 32 feet) high. This is about half the height of Svartifoss. Despite its proximity to this popular natural attraction, Magnúsarfoss tends to have fewer visitors, meaning you can relax and enjoy yourself without the crowds. The best view is from the eastern bank.

A beautiful waterfall on the way to Svartifoss. From a platform you can watch this 9m high waterfall.
