Rollutorfufoss

Take Highway 1 east from the town of Hvolsvöllur for 47km, then turn left where signs point prominently to Skógafoss (the falls are visible and very obvious at this point). In half of a kilometer take the next left and follow the road to its end adjacent to the camping area. The trail to the top of the falls begins adjacent to the grass field at the camping area, climbing up several hundreds of stairs for about one-third of a kilometer to a viewing platform at the top of the falls. From here the trail uses a stile to cross a sheep fence, and then continues gradually uphill. This waterfall is best viewed about 1.85 kilometers past the top of Skógafoss, and about 100 meters past the top of Innri-Fellsfoss.The Skógá features dozens of waterfalls as it cascades down from the saddle between the Eyjafjallajökull and Katla volcanoes where it originates. The vast majority of visitors to the area are (understandably) satisfied with the spectacular Skógafoss just above the Ring road, but those looking for further satisfaction can hike the famous Laugavegur trail upstream along the river and pass many more waterfalls. Rollutorfufoss is the seventh and smallest of the notable waterfalls encountered as one hikes upstream from Skógafoss along the trail. The falls drop only 17 feet, but do so over a broad shelf that helps to increase the area of the falls significantly and makes it seems a bit more significant than its height may otherwise suggest alone.
