아이슬란드‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 폭포

A great highlight

A very nice hike in itself, BUT: mosquitoes are everywhere. It's best to wear a net over your head and face.

In terms of landscape, this is actually the most beautiful part of the national park (perhaps apart from the wide view over the valley), as the combination of river with rapids and rocks with green meadows in between just works.

As of July 2024, there is a road leading directly to the waterfall. Parking costs 750 ISK for small cars, while VW buses and the like cost 2000 ISK for a maximum of 4 hours. Each additional hour costs an additional 2000 ISK, regardless of the vehicle type.

Hestavaðsfoss is the first waterfall one encounters when walking upstream along the Skógá River, just above 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). Alt: 110m

Easy to reach from the P2 car park, although it is generally very full as everyone wants to park within walking distance. The path is very well developed and has a minimal incline to the Hakið viewpoint, which then becomes steeper.

Drekkingarhylur, also known as the Drowning Pool, is a deep water pool in the river near the bridge over the Öxará River, located in the heart of the Þingvellir National Park. It is a historic place with a dark past. In ancient times, when drowning was a common method of execution, the fate was sealed here in the deep waters of the pool. Women, often accused of witchcraft, were tied in sacks and thrown into Drekkingarhylur. A macabre ritual: if the woman drowned, she was considered innocent; If she managed to free herself, she was branded a witch and put to death again.

Djúpagilsfoss is a beautiful waterfall located in the Reykjadalur Valley in Iceland. The name Djúpagilsfoss literally means “Deep Gorge Waterfall”, which refers to the Djúpagil, the gorge in which it is located. It is a popular attraction for those who hike to the natural hot springs in the valley. Reykjadalur means “Steam Valley,” and you will encounter a lot of steam on the hike to this waterfall.
