There is a legend at Skógarfoss that behind the waterfall is a chest of treasures. Legend has it that a man ventured behind the falls and grasped the handle on the chest, only for the treasure to vanish in front his very eyes.

He managed to keep a grip on the handle, and the handle is now on the door to the church in Skógarfoss.

The first picture is Skógarfoss from a distance. The second is right at the top of the falls. You can walk up a steep hill and go along the river that leads to the falls, which is what the third picture is of.

The view over the landscape is so beautiful. It is so quiet and peaceful, all I heard up there was the rushing of the river and the sounds of the cows and sheep in the fields below me.
