Feel the power of the water at the famous Skógafoss

Skógafoss is one of the best-known and largest waterfalls in Iceland. With an impressive drop of around 60 metres and a width of 25 metres, it lies in south Iceland near the small village of Skógar. Nestled in lush green meadows and surrounded by cliffs, a fine spray mist hangs constantly in the air. In sunshine, colourful rainbows appear and make the view even more magical. The waterfall is fed by the majestic glaciers Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull.

Access to Skógafoss is easy thanks to a large car park nearby. A well-developed path leads up 527 steps to a viewing platform. From the upper platform you have a breathtaking view over the waterfall and the surrounding landscape. Even though it gets busier, especially between 11am and 2pm, the many photo opportunities invite you to capture the perfect shot. A restaurant nearby offers the chance to round off your visit in comfort.
