Hundafoss

Hundafoss




Hundafoss is one of a series of waterfalls leading up to the lovely
Svartifoss in Skaftafell National Park. I read somewhere that the falls got its name ("hundur" means dog in Icelandic) because dogs have been swept over the falls during flood. I've also heard that a dog gave its life trying to rescue someone here. I'm sure there's a saga for it.

Since this waterfall was signposted along the Svartifoss trail, we had no trouble identifying it.

Directions: This falls shares the same trailhead as that of Svartifoss. See that page for driving directions.
