Standing tall at 60 meters, the Skogafoss waterfalls are located about 5 kilometres from Skogar village. The waterfall comes directly from two glaciers: Eyjafjallajokull and Myrdalsjokull. You can get to the bottom of the waterfalls and hike up to them as well. There is no entrance fee and you can camp to the campground next to the waterfalls for a small fee.

  1. Directly from the waterfall, you can start the Fimmvorduhals hike from Skogar to Thorsmork. It’s about 25km with 1000m of elevation. This was one of the greatest hike of my life, definetly worth it. The tricky part is the bus to come back to your car : Thorsmok valley is unaccessible by car so you need a special ride (about 60$) to come back to the nearest city. The rest has to be done hitchhiking.
