Kvernufoss

The Kverna river plunges 98 feet down vertical cliffs of dark rock, forming a narrow stream that continues through a deep gorge.

The waterfall received its name from the old mills that operated along the Kverna river, utilizing the water power for grinding grain.

Located next to the Skogar Cultural Heritage Museum, the waterfall connects to exhibits about traditional Icelandic farming and milling practices.

The hiking trail to reach Kvernufoss starts behind the Skogar Museum and requires a 20-minute walk through marked paths and over fence stiles.

Visitors can follow a natural path that leads into a cave formation behind the falling water, offering views through the cascading water sheet.
