[2025 Skaftarhreppur Attraction] Travel Guide for Fjaðrárgljúfur (Updated May)

You have to leave Highway 1 to reach this remarkable Feather± Canyon, although it’s not far away. The walk through the canyon is perfectly signposted with fences and various viewpoints along the way. While it may not be suitable for people with limited physical abilities, it is not overly challenging either. Although the hike is not particularly long, it does involve some uphill sections. Nonetheless, it was undoubtedly worth it! The walk takes about 45 minutes (round trip), but it also depends on how long you spend at each attraction. The trail ends at a beautiful waterfall and the return route is the same as the outbound route. #outing #iceland #natural wonders #canyon #hiking

#Halloween2023 Located in the southernmost part of Iceland, Feather Canyon📸was formed during the Ice Age 9,000 years ago and is known as the most beautiful canyon in the world👍. There is a viewing platform on the trail next to it (about 45 minutes walk). Looking out from the viewing platform, you can feel the depth of the canyon. The water flows gently through the winding cracks, which is very beautiful. Alternatively, you can wade through the valley floor and feel the towering steepness of the canyon walls. Due to time constraints, we did not take this sightseeing route. #IcelandTravel #IcelandAttractions

Don’t go to Iceland blindly! ! Even going to the toilet may cost you money! 🤗So I sincerely suggest that you make a good strategy before going there, because Iceland will really punish everyone who doesn’t make a strategy😅 - 🚗Travel method: 🚘Self-driving 🚙Travel with a group 🚃 Public transportation 👉PS: My suggestion is to join a tour group. If you are not familiar with the route for the first time, don’t waste time looking for attractions! ! It really saves a lot of trouble to hold a group. - Things to know when visiting Iceland ✅There is an 8-hour time difference between Iceland and China.

I came to Fjaðrálgljúfur Gorge in Iceland. It is a valley along National Route 1, and you can get there by rental car, but the road becomes unpaved halfway through. There is no entrance fee, but parking costs about 1,000 yen per car. The view from the observation deck is nice, but be careful as the wind is very strong. You need to walk about 30 minutes from the parking lot to the observation deck. Iceland has otherworldly nature everywhere, so you will never get bored of driving and sightseeing. 📍Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/SXquKY3dy3ah7cjr6 #0yentripFebruary2025#Iceland

Fjaðrárgljúfur Feather Canyon (Feather River Canyon) is known as the most beautiful canyon in the world. I didn't see who gave it this name during the Google search, but it is breathtakingly beautiful when I saw it in person, so it is not an exaggeration to call it the most beautiful canyon in Iceland. The canyon is 100 meters deep and 2 kilometers long. There are many people taking pictures by the Fjaðrá River in the photos on the Internet, but this time it is a bit small. Unfortunately, I didn't walk to the downstream to take pictures. I only noticed the trail going up. If you want to take pictures closer to the river, you can find a bridge on the other road next to the parking lot (but be careful not to cross it deliberately if there is a wire at that time) #Global Travel

Fjaðrárgljúfur Feather River Canyon It is a scenic spot between the road from Vic town to Glacier Lake, so it can be said to be a convenient scenic spot that you will pass by. Its shocking feature is also the scenic spot that my companion is most looking forward to. The tour route is to park your car from the parking lot and follow a trail on the right like a mountain hike to the top of the canyon to look down at the canyon. The canyon is winding and winding, and you will stay there for about 1 to 2 hours. From a high place, you can overlook the entire Feather River Canyon and marvel at the magic of nature again. 2. Svartifoss waterfall The basalt waterfall is one of the representative images of Iceland. The designer of Hallgrím Church used it as inspiration to design a magnificent and unique exterior wall. The cascading waterfall is flanked by neatly arranged hexagonal basalt stone pillars, which resemble a pipe organ and were formed in a volcanic eruption. The black basalt and white waterfall merge into one, creating a special existence. Tip: I didn’t collect enough information until I found out that day that I had to hike up a mountain to see this basalt waterfall. It takes about an hour to get there. Whether it’s worth it or not depends on everyone. #globaltravel

#OctoberGoodDestinations2024 The Feather River Canyon in southern Iceland was formed during the Ice Age 9,000 years ago and is known as the "most beautiful canyon in the world." Although we don't know who made the claim, Fjaðrárgljúfur is a beautiful attraction between the Black Sand Beach Reserve and Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. It took us about 50 minutes to drive here from Vik, where we stayed the night before.

Iceland is home to some breathtaking canyons 🏔, and one of the most remarkable is the serpentine-shaped Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon in the southern part of the country 🗾. 
Fjaðrárgljúfur was once a hidden gem, known only to a select few, but it gained international fame when Justin Bieber used it as the backdrop for his music video 🎥 "I'll Show You" in Iceland. This attracted a flood of visitors ✅. 
The canyon is approximately 100 meters deep and 2000 meters long, with dramatic, sheer rock walls that date back millions of years to the glacial era 🉑. Moss-covered cliffs add to its allure, especially in the bright sunlight 🌞. 
You can explore the canyon from various angles, either from the top or within, revealing vibrant color contrasts 🌈. For hikers 👣, crossing the shallow Fjaðrá River is necessary, and waterproof 💧 gear and sturdy hiking boots ⛸ or easy-to-remove sandals are essential. 
Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon is located 📍 west of Kirkjubæjarklaustur village. You can rent a car in Reykjavik, take Route 1 in the south, and turn onto Route 206 towards Lakagígar. A short drive on a gravel road will lead you to the 🏔canyon.
