    I was the first to arrive at the place. There is a free parking zone. It was very early, cold, and you could see the frost on the grass. From the minute you start your hike, it is an uphill in the middle of a very beauti...

    It is easy to get to the parking as usual. Keep your car in the designated parking lot for small vehicles and start your hike uphill. There are several info boards at the beginning of the trail. The more you go uphill, t...

    Svartifoss waterfall is yet again one of the more impressive waterfalls in Iceland, but this time it's not the size that impresses the spectator but rather the sight of the basalt rock formations. Visiting this waterfall...

    Up the canyon to the view point on Hangandifoss waterfall. Hiked mid May with a baby in the carrier. Above this point the trail was covered in snow so we haven't continued further.

    nice hike if you follow a river to the valley, numerous waterfalls and a cave. A bit slipery and tricky, you need to cross a small river.

    Easy and fun hike. Some steep portions but nothing scary. Stunning views. This is only one way and not all the way to the top.

    Must be done clockwise. Both for better views and easier track. If you love trail running the descent from the glacier view back to the parking is 100% fun guaranteed

    Preciosa ruta per la glacera de Skaftafelljokul. Molt recomanable fer-la en aquest sentit, al arribar al mirador de la glacera Sjonamipa no hi havia boira al ser d'hora. No sé si sempre serà així o és qüestió d'esperar. ...

    Espectacular circular per Skaftafell. Moderat perquè hi havia llocs glaçats amb risc de relliscar...sinó seria facil
