Thjofafoss (Skaftafell) In fact, this waterfall wasn't even visible from that trail. Instead, we had to go on what I was calling the "Cheater's Way" (see the Svartifoss page for why) where we had to go up a narrow road single-lane road with a handful of hairpin turns. Directions: Follow the general directions to the Skaftafell Visitor Center on our Svartifoss page. But instead of stopping the car at the Visitor Center, keep going west on the road to Hæðir. The viewpoint of the falls was at the first switchback past the bridge.
