Skógafoss Waterfall is one of Iceland’s most iconic waterfalls, located on the Skógá River in the south of the country, about 154 kilometres from Reykjavík along the ring road. What makes this attraction unique is its immense size, with a drop of 60 metres and a width of 25 metres, combined with the mist that often creates vivid rainbows, sometimes even double arcs. Visitors can walk right up to the base of the waterfall for an exhilarating experience, climb the 527 steps to the observation platform for panoramic views, or explore the hiking trail leading to more waterfalls upstream.
