Zpráva od Dana R.

Location: Skógafoss is one of Iceland's most iconic and breathtaking waterfalls. It is located in South Iceland, along the Ring Road (Route 1), near the village of Skógar. It is about 150 kilometers (93 miles) southeast of Reykjavik and approximately 30 kilometers (19 miles) east of Seljalandsfoss.

Accessibility: The waterfall is easily accessible by car. There is a parking area close to the waterfall, from which it is a short walk to the base of Skógafoss.

Height and Width: Skógafoss is 60 meters (197 feet) high and 25 meters (82 feet) wide, making it one of the largest waterfalls in Iceland.

Best Time to Visit: Skógafoss can be visited year-round. Summer (June to August) offers lush green landscapes and milder weather, while winter (December to February) provides a chance to see the waterfall surrounded by snow and ice. Skógafoss is a popular destination, so visiting early in the morning or late in the evening can help avoid the crowds.

Photography: The waterfall is a favorite spot for photographers. The best times for photography are during sunrise or sunset when the lighting is softer, and the chances of capturing rainbows are higher.

Hiking: A staircase with around 500 steps leads to a viewing platform at the top of the waterfall, offering stunning views of the surrounding area and the Skóga River.

Skógafoss marks the starting (or ending) point of the Fimmvörðuháls trail, a popular hiking route that leads to the Þórsmörk valley, passing between the Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull glaciers.

Facilities: There are basic facilities near the parking area, including restrooms and a small café.
