Fifty shades of green: the waterfalls Skogafoss, Hestavadsfoss and Kvernufoss.

When you first go to Iceland, you will probably want to “do” the Golden Circle. That means: you want to see as much as possible of the beautiful things that can be found within this Golden Circle. Within this (most touristic) tour on Iceland you will find many waterfalls. One of the most famous waterfalls is Skogafoss (foss means waterfall).

The Skogafoss waterfall is one of the largest waterfalls in Iceland. It's about 60 meters high and 25 meters wide. You will find the waterfall on road 1, the ring road that runs all over Iceland, and is almost always passable. The Skogafoss can be found at Skogar, in the south of Iceland. It is an impressive waterfall. He is high, wide, a striking appearance. It is also well marked on the signs, so you won't have to look for it for long. But before I take you to the famous Skogafoss, I'll take you a mile away.

You take the same road as to Skogafoss, but do not turn left, but follow the road towards the Skogar Museum. A museum with information about Iceland in earlier years. You could call it an Icelandic open-air museum. I only visited the museum for the bathroom. Warning: this you have to pay: 200 kroner per person, which amounts to almost €1.50. We walk in front of the museum over the parking lot for buses (so put your car at the museum, parking is free, and bus drivers get very chachachageragey when there is another car in their place. They can't just park somewhere else. Sorry, I stray.

Walk across the parking lot and climb over the fence.
