From Egilsstaðir, journey inland to explore the stunning basalt columns of Stuðlagil Canyon, then witness the raw power of Dettifoss and Selfoss waterfalls before reaching Mývatn.
Stuðlagil Canyon (East Side)
Hike to the east side of this magnificent basalt column canyon, offering breathtaking views of the Jökulsá á Dal river flowing through geometric rock formations. The trail is moderate with stunning payoffs.
Dettifoss
Experience Europe's most powerful waterfall, where glacial meltwater thunders into a canyon. Feel the spray and witness the immense force of nature from the west bank viewing platforms.
Selfoss Waterfall
Just upstream from Dettifoss, Selfoss presents a wider, horseshoe-shaped cascade, with numerous smaller falls tumbling over a broad rock face, creating a serene yet powerful spectacle.
