Magnusarfoss

Magnusarfoss (Magnúsarfoss) is just upstream from Hundafoss along the trail to Svartifoss in Skaftafell National Park. We've noticed people walking to the top of the falls on the other side of the gorge (something we didn't do though we would've had to access it from the other road, which you can read about in the "Cheaters' Way" on our Svartifoss page). This falls was also signposted so we had no trouble finding it, and it made for an interesting diversion to keep our minds momentarily off the sweaty ascending trail.

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