Hiking

From the Skógafoss you can continue walking along the Skogargil gorge, where there are even more waterfalls. 45' extra walk.

Hiking

Hestavaðsfoss is the first waterfall one encounters when walking upstream along the Skógá River, just above (200m) the famous Skógafoss waterfall. The waterfall drops in two steps over a wide plateau of volcanic rock, with the largest step being about 20 feet (about 6 meters).
