irafoss waterfall

As is often the case in Iceland, we discovered this hidden treasure during a journey. Nestling in the remote valley of Skógafoss, we encountered this splendid waterfall along a path lined with thick moss and populated by a few sheep. Íráfoss is the perfect example of unspoilt wilderness, a gift for travellers in search of tranquillity and natural beauty.

step 3

Reynisfjara beach

Fascinating and intimidating, the beach at Reynisfjara on Iceland’s south coast is an unforgettable sight. Its immense rock columns are basalt formations nicknamed “the Organ Pipes of Reynisdrangar”. This extraordinary place, unlike any other, captivated us from the moment we arrived.

A Nordic legend

One of the most famous legends is that the rock formations are the remains of an ancient giant that was petrified by the sunrise. The inhabitants of the region have long believed that the columns of Reynisdrangar have protective powers against evil forces, adding to their mystery.
