Itinerary description
Trail from Skaftafell parking to Fagurhólsmýri passing through:
- Hundafoss (0.6 mi)
- Magnúsarfoss (0.8 mi)
Trail is classified as moderate because of elevation gain, but the condition of the trail classifies as easy. We took 3.5 hours to complete loop, but we took numerous breaks to enjoy the spectacular view and quiet. As it is a loop, you can go either direction, but I suggest you follow the trail in the counterclockwise direction. There are some turf houses towards the end. Feel free to enter the last house. It's set up for a visit. On the way up, there are numerous beaches if you need or want to take a break. There are 3 waterfalls on the route. At the final waterfall, there is a footbridge you cross and get a good view. There is also a viewing platform at the base of the falls. We didn't go to this platform. Enjoy this hike. It's a great one.
