Kvernufoss

Amazing waterfall away from the crowds, definitely a hidden gem, and one of my favourites! You need to pay for parking, unlike at Skógafoss which was free, but it was worth it. The trail to the waterfall is flat and took around 10-15 minutes. We saw a few goats up close near the waterfall which made the hike even more special. You can go behind the waterfall but be prepared to get wet.

One of a lot of beautiful fosses in Iceland 🇮🇸. You have to walk a few minutes from the parking to the waterfall. I recommend hiking boots 🥾 and waterproof clothing. We were here in the middle of June and it was not crowded a few people there but absolutely nice. I highly recommend going there!

Amazing waterfall. And the hike up the stairs as well worth it. The trail from the top of the Falls looked amazing, but we only did a short bit because it was windy, rainy and cold.

For me, it was the most beautiful waterfall I've been able to admire on my trip, just the path through a small gorge, and you can even walk behind the waterfall. I was lucky and was there all alone at the time.

Kvernufoss is a seriously underrated gem. It’s just a short drive from Skógafoss, but feels way more peaceful and hidden away. The trail takes you through a lovely green valley, and before you know it, you’re standing right in front of this gorgeous waterfall tucked into a little canyon. You can even walk behind it for a really unique view - and the whole area is so quiet and lush it almost feels like you’ve discovered a secret. Totally worth the stop if you’re looking for something a bit off the beaten path.

Cool waterfall in the same pull off street as Skogafoss. Definitely worth the stop if already there. It's about a 10 min walk back from the parking area through a small canyon to the falls. You can also walk behind this falls similar to Seljalansfoss. It's much quieter and pretty cool walk in. Trail is pretty flat with some hill and one rocky spot. Parking lot had a small fee paid on the app (no machine at this lot).

Kvernufoss is a hidden gem and a must-visit in Iceland. The short hike to the waterfall takes you through a beautiful valley surrounded by cliffs and mossy landscapes. The waterfall itself is stunning, with water cascading into a serene pool below. The highlight is being able to walk behind it, feeling the mist and hearing the thunderous sound of the falls—it’s an unforgettable experience. It’s quiet and peaceful, making it a perfect spot for those looking to enjoy Iceland’s raw beauty away from the crowds.

A unique experience and in my opinion the best waterfall I’ve visited on Island. Not crowded and being able to walk behind the waterfall is an amazing feeling. Truly recommend this place. Do not forget to pay the modest parking fee of 750 ISK. Almost all the fantastic places to visit on 🇮🇸 is free of charge so paying the parking fee is the least one can do.
