Skaftafell - Walking in Iceland [4K]

Skaftafell is easily accessible along Route 1. The closest population centres are Kirkjubæjarklaustur 70 kilometres to the west and Höfn, 130 kilometres to the east. The region is accessible year-round, weather and road conditions permitting. Outside of the summer months, conditions can change rapidly. It is therefore important to inform yourself before visiting. Skaftafell is a hiker's paradise and everyone should be able to find a trail suitable to their skill level. There's an excellent campsite in Skaftafell that is open year-round.

Part of the area around Skaftafell was formally declared a national park in 1967, and since 2008 has been part of Vatnajökull National Park. Natural beauty, favourable weather conditions, and a selection of hiking trails make Skaftafell an ideal destination for those who like to enjoy outdoor activities in Icelandic nature. There's a trail for everyone at every skill level. Short and easy trails lead to the waterfall Svartifoss and the glacier Skaftafellsjökull, but for those who want to venture further out, the Morsárdalur valley and Kristínartindar mountain peaks are perfect in terms of distance and effort. By the mountain Sandfell in Öræfi is Háalda, a mountain that was declared a national monument in 1975. A hiking trail that leads to the country's highest peak, Hvannadalshnjúkur, begins at Háalda.
