Beyond Skógafoss: Iceland’s Waterfall Way Hike in 4K

Walk beyond Skógafoss on Iceland’s spectacular Waterfall Way, a scenic hiking trail in South Iceland that follows the Skógá River past a succession of hidden waterfalls. This immersive 4K journey begins at the iconic Skógafoss waterfall near Skógar and continues upstream along the opening section of the Fimmvörðuháls trail. After climbing the steep staircase beside the 60-metre waterfall, the route opens onto green cliffs, river gorges, highland landscapes and a remarkable chain of cascades, including Hestavaðsfoss, Fosstorfufoss and Skálabrekkufoss. The complete Waterfall Way continues for approximately 7–8 kilometres from Skógafoss to the footbridge, creating a return hike of around 15–16 kilometres.
