LOCATION

Edda Skogar is situated at Skogar, near the Skogarfoss waterfall under the east Eyjafjöll mountains in the Rangarvellir district in South Iceland. The hotel is located 50 km east of Hotel Rangá and 150 km east of Reykjavik, on the main road 1. Edda Skogar is just 5 minutes walk to the world famous Skogarfoss waterfall under the east Eyjafjöll Mountains in the Rangarvellir district in South Iceland.

There are many interesting places to visit and trips to be taken in the surrounding area which Hotel Skogar is happy to arrange for its guests. There is a museum, an extensive hiking area to explore, horseback riding and snowmobiling on Myrdalsjökull glacier. Fantastic bird watching at nearby Dyrhólaey ocean cliffs.

The regions highlight is perhaps the majestic Skogarfoss waterfall, about 5 minutes walk away. The waterfall, 60 meters in height, is famous for its beauty (there is during sunny weather always a rainbow visible “inside” the waterfall) and there is a legend saying that a chest of gold is buried somewhere beneath it. The river also teams with salmon, trout and char, making it one of the better rivers to fish in all of Iceland today.

Hiking up to the top of the Skogarfoss waterfalls and the stunning series of falls and rapids beyond is a favourite and a must do for all fit travelers. Longer hikes are also available to Thorsmörk and Landmannalaugar. Visiting the Myrdalsjökull glacier and there taking snowmobile tours, dog sleighing, super jeep tours or ice climbing is a must. As is taking trips to the stunning Dyrholaey cliffs and black beaches of Vik where birdlife is a major attraction. Special trips with boats under the rock arches by Dyrholaey are also available.

Horse riding and day-trips to Seljalandsfoss & Thorsmörk, Landmannalaugar, The Glacier Lagoon Jökularslón, Skaftafell National Park & Vatnajökull and the Westman Islands are all popular excursions as well. And one should of course not forget the famous and well frequented Folk Museum in Skogar - which should not be missed. The wool center in Vik is also well worth a visit.
