A relatively easy hike to the romantic Svartifoss

We start our ascent from the Skaftafell parking lot. First we reach the Magnusarfoss, then later on the tiny Svartifoss. The entire basin is beautiful, as the water is crashing through the basalt columns, like music coming out from the pipes of an organ. Completed: 27 July 2020
