Embark on an exciting journey to Iceland's second tallest waterfall, Glymur, located just an hour's drive from Reykjavik. This moderate to difficult 6.5-kilometer (4-mile) round-trip hike will take you through some of Iceland's most stunning scenery and breathtaking landscapes.
We'll begin our adventure at the end of the Hvalfjörður (Whale Fjord) and start our ascent up a steep and rocky path. As we climb higher, the views of the fjord and surrounding mountains will become increasingly more spectacular.
The trail takes us through a lush forest, across a series of streams and rivers, and along the edge of a steep cliff, all while providing a thrilling challenge for adventurous hikers. Once we reach the waterfall, we'll cross a narrow log over a roaring river to get to the other side, adding an extra dash of excitement to the hike.
The Glymur waterfall plunges 198 meters (650 feet) down a sheer rock face, creating a misty spray that adds to the natural beauty of the surroundings. We'll take our time at the waterfall, giving you plenty of opportunities to take stunning photos, enjoy the scenery, and appreciate the raw power of nature.
The hike back down follows the same route and provides more opportunities to enjoy the views and test your hiking skills. Along the way, you may even spot native bird species, such as ptarmigans, adding an extra touch of adventure to this already thrilling journey.
This is an epic adventure that will test your mettle, stamina, and sense of adventure. So, wear sturdy hiking shoes, bring plenty of water and snacks, and join us on this unforgettable journey to Glymur waterfall!
