11. Svartifoss & Skaftafell Glacier 

FYI

  • Located within Vatnajökull National Park ( so is half of iceland) 
  • Combo site- both trails start near visitor center: Skaftafellsstofa
    • Has cafe/restaurant inside  
  • Lot of trails in the area but Svartifoss and Skaftafell are most popular
  • Do Waterfall first!

Svartifoss waterfall

  • Alltrails link: Easy uphill, 2mi out & back
  • Trail is well marked but end point can be easily missed  
  • Hundafoss- bonus waterfall, quick stop on trail
    • Has view platform and then keep onto Svartifoss 

View Point

  • Turn right at wooden bridge
  • Somewhat hidden path
  • Eventually clears to view platform 

NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR INSTAGRAM


Skaftafell Glacier 

  • Very Easy flat walk down to glacier, lagoon.  
  • Can go as far as you want- cool scenary
  • Dont spend a ton of time–Jökulsárlón glacier area is more worth it

Still don’t care about your Instagram
