Discover a magical hidden gem in South-Iceland taking an amazing journey to Þakgil canyon. The journey consists of many gorgeous sights such as the Stórhellir cave which is a relatively large cave by the road and the Tótanef rock, which is shaped like a face of a troll. The hike into the canyon will take you on a beautiful path that leads to the bottom of the canyon where you can find Remundargilsfoss waterfall. Observe the majestic scenery from cliffs that are covered in green moss and be mesmerized by the serenity it offers. If you want to stay the night, the camping site provides pine cottages where you can lit candles in the cave dining area. Enjoy the peace and come to connect with nature at Þakgil canyon.
