FIRST-HAND ADVICE

✓Best for visitors already exploring Svarfaðardalur rather than as a major standalone waterfall stop.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

Local access and trail conditions should be assessed before visiting. Do not cross private land without permission.

Svarfaðardalur

Protected wetland and river environment in Svarfaðardalur particularly valuable for birdlife and peaceful walking.

Southern Bárðardalur

Powerful waterfall where the Skjálfandafljót plunges through a striking amphitheatre of dark basalt columns near the edge of the Highlands.

Goðafoss & Skjálfandafljót

Smaller waterfall on the Skjálfandafljót river immediately downstream from the much more famous Goðafoss.
