One of the best ways to slow down on an Iceland road trip is to spend an hour or two soaking in the hot waters of geothermal springs and lagoons, naturally heated from deep beneath the ground.

During the peak season in summer, Skógafoss attracts around 1,000-2,000 visitors daily. However, the early mornings and late afternoons are usually much quieter, making for a completely different atmosphere. Finding the right accommodation nearby means you’ll be able to visit without the crowds and in different lights.
