Um Svartifoss

Svartifoss — 'Black Falls' — is a striking waterfall in Skaftafell framed by hanging columns of dark basalt that inspired the design of several of Iceland's most important buildings.

Bakgrunnur

Saga og bakgrunnur

The basalt columns surrounding Svartifoss were the inspiration for architect Guðjón Samúelsson's design of Hallgrímskirkja church in Reykjavík and the Skaftafell visitor centre. The falls drop 20 meters into a pool below, surrounded by lush birch woodland. The hike to Svartifoss from the Skaftafell visitor centre takes about 45 minutes and offers views across the glacier outwash plain.

Svartifoss is a waterfall in east-iceland, offering visitors a beautiful display of Iceland's dramatic natural scenery. The waterfall is surrounded by typical Icelandic landscape and makes for a rewarding stop.
