Located on the southern edge of Vatnajökull National Park, home to Europe’s largest glacier, is Skaftafell National Park. Situated along Iceland’s renowned South Coast, just north of Hof and approximately a 2-hour drive from Vik, this park is easily accessible from Ring Road. The landscape of Southeast Iceland is defined by the Vatnajökull glacier, with the stunning Skaftafel nestled between its glacier tongues. Offering a range of hiking options, from the leisurely stroll to the Skaftafellsjokull glacier tongue to a brief hike to the picturesque Svartifoss waterfall, Skaftafell National Park is a must-visit destination. While the park’s beauty shines year-round, Svartifoss is particularly enchanting when partially frozen and blanketed in snow. Embrace more wintertime adventures in Iceland.
