Skógafoss - Waterfall

It is located on the Skógá River in the south of the country and is one of the biggest waterfalls in the country, with a width of 25 metres and a drop of 60 metres.

From here you can take in the stunning views of the surrounding area and the powerful cascade of water.

Whether you’re looking for a peaceful stroll or an adrenaline-filled adventure, Skógafoss is the perfect place to explore.
