Kvernufoss

📍 South Iceland

📖 Description

Kvernufoss is one of Iceland's best-kept secrets: a beautiful waterfall hidden just minutes away from the tourist crowds at Skógafoss, yet discovered by fewer than 1% of visitors. A short walk through a lush gorge leads you behind the waterfall itself, where you can stand inside the curtain of falling water for a completely unique experience.
