アイスランド周辺のおすすめ滝ハイキング＆ウォーキング

From the free parking lot, the trail started off very well on a paved path. After about 800m-1km, the trail became unpaved and muddy, with trails along the river. Difficulty: Moderate; sturdy footwear is required. There is also a paid parking lot. This would also be closer to the waterfall. But that's only half the fun.

🚶‍♂️ Dead Man Walking in Þingvellir Imagine: In the past, you didn't come here to hike, but because the Alþingi had decided that your final adventure awaited you – beheading, drowning, or hanging. A natural idyll with a twist. While today tourists stroll along the wooden walkways with selfie sticks, back then, condemned prisoners walked their final journey to Drekkingarhylur. "Wellness in a glacial stream" just sounded a little less relaxing back then. Who needs Game of Thrones when reality here in the 17th century was much more brutal?

Careful the stones can be slippery

Hundafoss is the easiest to reach of the many waterfalls leading up to the plateau overlooking the glacier. It's not as famous or spectacular as Svartifoss, but it's also a nice sight.

From the plateau above Svartifoss to the bridge directly at the waterfall, there is a steep path down, but you always have the worthwhile destination in sight.

Easily accessible and well-maintained wooden path that immediately immerses you in the impressive area around Pingvellir. Here, you can easily imagine the tectonic plates drifting apart.
