Svöðufoss Waterfall is a hidden gem in the beautiful Snæfellsnes Peninsula, Iceland. Just a half hour hike from the parking lot, this magical 10 meter tall waterfall cascades down from majestic basalt columns and into the river Laxá. On sunny days, the backdrop of the Snæfellsjökull glacier provides a stunning view of the entire area. While visiting Svöðufoss, adventurers can explore the vast floral land, birdwatch, or even venture into nearby Rauðfeldsgjá, a deep ravine amidst cliffs with an adrenaline inducing hike. With plenty of hotels and guest houses near by, one never has to look far for many lodging options. So come on down to Svöðufoss, to wander, get lost, and bask in the beauty of this Icelandic hidden treasure!
