Our first “traditional” waterfall visit on our Iceland trip. Beautiful and a little damp but hey, it’s a waterfall. One of the largest waterfalls in Iceland, Skogafoss clocks in at 25 meters wide with a roughly 60 meter drop. While we didn’t climb the stairs to the observation deck, we did fill some water bottles for the road (we were told it was safe and it certainly seems to have been). Legend has it that a Viking treasure was secreted away in a cave behind the waterfall, leaving only a metal ring behind before vanishing once discovered. That same metal ring is on display in the adjacent museum.
