The magnificent waterfall of the South Coast

Chasing waterfalls in Iceland is very common, and Skógafoss has to be part of this quest. Skógafoss is a 60-meter high waterfall in the South Coast known for having a treasure hidden by the first Viking, Þrasi Þórólfsson. Legend says that they gave a ring to the local church, and now it is in the Skógar Museum.

This waterfall is one of the most remarkable waterfalls in the Ring Road tours, and it has also appeared in various Hollywood movies like Thor: The Dark World and the series Vikings. Its name Skógafoss translates to Forest Waterfalls.
