Skógar - South Iceland



"Situated along Route One at the foot of Skógafoss, one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Iceland, the small town of Skógar makes for a perfect pitstop on a road trip through Iceland. The inhabitants number around 30, and while the town has a limited number of stores and attractions, the beautiful green slopes and cliffs that envelop it mean you won’t run out of natural sites to explore. As an extra treat, you can enjoy a walk through one of Iceland’s rare forests, Völvuskógur. This is quite fitting, seeing as ‘Skógar’ translates as ‘forests.’"
