Skogafoss

Day 3 of our trip to Iceland would be an epic road trip that would take us to some amazing places.

First stop was Skogafoss. One of Iceland’s many waterfalls, this one is unique because it is the only one that comes from two glaciers.

We walked the 300+ stairs to the top where at one point we had the opportunity to walk behind the falls. Legend has it that a Viking named Thrasi hid his hoarded gold under the falls. Many have tried to find the chest of gold and it’s been said that a young man almost succeeded. He tied a rope to the chest handle ring and pulled. He only retrieved the ring, which was later used for the church door at Skogar.

I hadn’t know this when we visited this waterfall, otherwise I may have gone diving for treasure!Leggi altro
