A magnificent waterfall, as photogenic as atypical, at the bottom of the slopes of Skaftafellsheiði, in Skaftafell.

The lower slopes of Skaftafellsheiði have many waterfalls and cascades. The most beautiful of them is undoubtedly Svartifoss, which falls from an overhang of basaltic organs. As photogenic as it is atypical, it is a waterfall that has to be earned a little because you have to walk for about thirty minutes with a difference in height of 180 meters. Downstream, the same stream falls three times at Magnúsarfoss, Hundafoss and Thjófafoss. Hundafoss was the fording point where horsemen used to cross the stream to reach the farms.

Cascade magnifique, mais attention il faut penser à prendre des crampons pour accéder au plus près lorsque le chemin est gelé

Très belle randonnée où on découvre plusieurs cascades le long d'un très beau chemin. La dernière est Svartifoss, une magnifique chute au milieu d'orgues basaltiques .

La randonnée est agréable et vous emmène au fil des cascades pour finir sur Svartifoss et ses orgues. Possibilité de faire la boucle.

La cascade est reconnaissable entre mille avec son orgue basaltique. La randonnée pour y accéder est vraiment à portée de tout le monde. Pour les sportifs, possibilité de faire la randonné de 16km vers le sommet de Kristinartindar qui offre une vue imprenable sur le glacier.
