Skogafoss or in its correct spelling, Skógafoss is one of Iceland’s biggest and most beautiful waterfalls with an astounding width of 25 meters (82 feet) and a drop of 60 meters (197 feet). Skogafoss is often included along with Seljalandfoss in the Golden Circle route.
Located on the Skógá river, this mighty cascade is easily accessible from Route 1 and is an excellent place to stop and stretch the legs while traveling the southern part of Iceland. The river below Skógafoss holds a large char and salmon population and is thus a favorite spot for fishermen in the summer.
Treasuring hunting anyone? According to legend, a Viking named Thrasi hid his hoarded gold under the falls. Many have tried to find the chest of gold and, as the story goes, a young man almost succeeded. He tied a rope to the chest handle ring and pulled. He only retrieved the ring and returned with it. The ring was later used for the church door at Skogar.
