The Waterfall Circle

The Waterfall Circle is an 8 kilometers long hiking circle that starts and ends in Laugarfell. The trail takes you through a rugged and varied highland landscape and features five waterfalls, along with breathtaking views of Snæfell mountain and a dramatic canyon.

This beautiful hike is getting more and more popular among hikers and takes around 2–3 hours to complete, depending on conditions and pace. While it’s not overly difficult, there are a few steep and rocky sections, so sturdy footwear is recommended.

After the hike, you can soak your tired legs in Laugarfell’s natural hot spring. This trail is typically accessible from mid-June once snow has melted in the highlands.
