Skogafoss is one of Iceland’s biggest and most beautiful waterfalls with an astounding width of 25 meters (82 feet) and a drop of 60 meters (197 feet).
Skógafoss is located near the small village of Skógar, south of the Eyjafjallajökull glacier volcano. 

Due to the amount of spray the waterfall consistently produces, a single or double rainbow is normally visible on sunny days. According to legend, the first Viking settler in the area, Þrasi Þórólfsson, buried a treasure in a cave behind the waterfall. The legend continues that locals found the chest years later, but were only able to grasp the ring on the side of the chest before it disappeared again. The ring was allegedly given to the local church. The old church door ring is now in the Skógar museum.

If you are looking to have Skogafoss waterfall all by yourself, we recommend that you either come very early or late in the day. This is a very popular tourist attraction and during high season you will not have the waterfall completely by yourself at these times. However, if you are traveling late autumn, we recommend coming after dark, when the Northern Lights dance across the sky.

When standing at the base of Skogafoss, you will really feel your own humanity as you face off against this giant of nature! The waterfall tosses over millions of gallons of water and has been doing so for thousands and thousands of years. Seeing Skogafoss waterfall in person is an extremely moving experience. Once you visit, you will want to return again and again!
