Svartifoss Waterfall is an attraction that is found within聽Skaftafell (Vatnajokull National Park). To find more information and featured images related to this attraction, please visit the page linked above!
When you arrive, there is a parking lot with plenty of room to park, but not as big as other popular attractions we visited. The parking lot is about a 5 minute walk from the visitors center, which provides information about Skaftafell’s history and also has a well-maintained bathroom area. Make sure to enter the visitor area to pay for parking! Remember to write down or take a picture of your license plate number, since that is needed to identify your car and pay for parking.
As you leave the visitors center, walk to the right and follow the sidewalk to the trailhead – there are plenty of signs and it’s easy to find. About 15 minutes into the hike, you’ll spot your first waterfall that juts out through a cliff and cascades onto the rocks below. As you continue walking on the trail, there are signs that you follow up to the right to take you to the main attraction,聽Svartifoss Waterfall, which you will see about 40 minutes into the hike. You’ll know when you’re just about there when you reach a bridge and, instead of walking across initially, there is path up to the right that you’ll take to reach this majestic waterfall. We spent about 5-10 minutes admiring the falls and taking photos before moving on.
