Icelandic Hidden Gem Behind Skógafoss Waterfall

It blows my mind that hundreds of thousands of people visit Iceland's iconic Skogafoss waterfall every year but have no idea what is hidden just beyond it. Learn about the epic nature waiting for you in this video.
To enjoy this adventure to the fullest, I suggest taking your time while here. Renting a car in Iceland allows you to go at your own pace. I highly recommend Go Car Rental Iceland. They have great rates, a large variety of cars, and amazing customer service.

    @AllThingsIceland So you could easily take your time and set and have lunch and, of course, definitely pack in everything. I love to go hiking, and I have my own little special method that I use to keep all trash from the environment. Call me weird, but I sometimes, depending on the hike, will bring some disposable gloves to pick up another crash as long as it wouldn't bring me harm. I'm planning on visiting Iceland next summer if my budget allows it.
