Skógafoss
One of Iceland’s most iconic waterfalls. A 60 metre drop and 25 metre width. On sunny days the spray often throws single or double rainbows. Local lore says a Viking settler hid a chest of gold behind the curtain of water. 🌈

Skógafoss
This was one of the most exciting places I ever been, the raw landscape and those huge natural monuments impress everyone one even the more skeptical 🧐. Easily accessible from the parking lot. On a sunny day, you will likely see rainbow in front of the fall as well.

Solheimasandur Plane Wreck
Amazing spot on the black sand to see the DC 3 wreck, raw and cinematic. The round hike could be of 1.5 hours, or you can take the shuttle. I arrived after the sunset, was too cloudy, the light was not the best. Still worth the walk, the silence and the metal in the wind, so epic. ✈️

Skógafoss
This waterfall attracts many tourists, but if you want to fully enjoy it, go for the long hike along the river. It’s less crowded.

Kvernufoss
A waterfall that is often skipped in the biggest tours, so it’s quieter and less crowded. The trails getting there are beautiful.
