6. Schoug Falls
brief introduction
Skogafos is located in the south of Iceland, 60 meters high and 25 meters wide. It is one of the largest and most representative waterfalls in Iceland, with extremely convenient terrain. The mountains on both sides of the waterfall are covered with green plants, and the cliffs on both sides enclose the waterfall in the middle. The white waterfall water matches the surrounding green plants just right. This waterfall is also called "forest waterfall" or "forest waterfall".
Skogafos was once the coastline of Iceland. It is located on a cliff near the coastline of Jiahe River in Schoug, but because the coastline here has retreated by 5 kilometers, the highland where the cliff is located has become the dividing line between the low-lying coastal areas of Iceland and the mainland highlands.
There is a path to the right of the waterfall. Climbing to the top, visitors can look back at the entire coastline and witness the spectacular sight of the river flowing down instantly. There is a famous local folk museum at the foot of the mountain, which truly reflects the peasant life of Icelandic people for hundreds of years. Legend has it that the treasure of pirates is buried under the waterfall, and the handle of the box is also displayed in the B&B museum, which makes the waterfall famous.
Double rainbows sometimes appear on sunny days because there is a lot of water mist. Thor 2: Dark Land has some scenes of Huskoga Waterfall.

brief introduction
The Golden Ring Route in Iceland is a must-see route for the first time to Iceland, including three famous scenic spots in Iceland:
、
and
These scenic spots are scattered on a circular highway, so they are called the golden circle of tourism.
Starting from Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, heading northeast, the first place to arrive is the former parliament site (No.36 expressway), also known as Sinville National Park. In 930 AD, early Icelandic immigrants held the first National People's Congress here, and established the world's earliest elected parliament and the first Icelandic Constitution. The scenery here is very beautiful. The two plates of Europe, Asia and America moved, forming a fractured valley with a drop of more than ten meters. The ancient volcanic movement tore the ground and shocked every visitor who set foot on it.
Then there is the Grand Geyser (Highway 35), which can reach more than 30 meters when erupting. After the visit, there is a cafeteria in this parking lot, which can solve lunch.
Then drive northeast for 20 minutes, and you will arrive at Golden Waterfall (Highway 35), also known as Yuda Waterfall. The water droplets splashed by the pouring waterfall spread under the sunlight to form a rainbow, as if the whole waterfall was forged with gold, hence the name.
After visiting the waterfall, the trip to the Golden Ring is over. Iceland usually gets dark after 9 o'clock in summer, so you can go back to the city for dinner.

brief introduction
