Snaedalsfoss Waterfall

Snædalsfoss, also called Hamarsafoss, drops in two clear steps down a dark rock face on the Snædalsá river, in the hills above the harbour town of Djúpivogur. It sits far enough off the Ring Road that few travellers find it. You reach it through Bragðavellir, a working farm with cottages: an unpaved track in, then an easy fifteen-minute walk over nearly flat ground. The reward is a tall fall, a wide valley view, and — most days — the place to yourself.
