Hiking to the Waterfalls of the River Skoga
Hiking to the Waterfalls of the River Skoga
Duration: 3-5 hours. Difficulty: a steady climb and descent of about 300-400 meters, or more depending on how far you go.
You will return by the same path so the choice is yours. Interest: if you found Skogafoss impressive then you’ll enjoy the dozen or more waterfalls further upstream! Start/End: park at Skogafoss.
You can see the trail ahead of you snaking up the hillside to the right of the waterfall.
With a 60m steep ascent, this is a tough start to the walk but it does get easier.
Follow the path along the river bank. It will take about 40 minutes to reach the next big waterfall, but then they come thick and fast and each has its own character. Return by the same path so you can go as far as you like.
