Glymur is our local spectacle. The hike through the canyon to the waterfall can take anywhere between 3 and 6 hours depending on your capabilities. It is a moderate - difficult hike and should strictly be attempted in summer months only. Be sure to dress accordingly and pack provisions including water. There are 2 river crossings so be prepared to get your feet wet. It is advised to take a second pair of shoes you do not mind getting wet, the rocks are sharp in the river bed and are painful to walk barefoot. Please be sure to take extra caution and do not attempt this in the winter! It is advised to research any hike and take all necessary precautions Glymur is the second-highest waterfall in Iceland, with a cascade of 198 m. It was long regarded as the tallest until being surpassed by Morsárfoss, a newly measured waterfall near Morsárjökull in 2011. The river Botnsá runs from the Hvalvatn lake and after a short distance the water falls down alongside the Hvalfell mountain into a steep canyon. The waterfall can be accessed from a parking area at the end of the road. Hikers can view the waterfall from marked paths on the east side of the river Botnsá.

My favorite hike near Reykjavik! You need good hiking boots for this one. The hike includes crossing a river so you need to take of your boots and getting your toes wet. The waterfall is the second highest in all of Iceland and has amazing sights. If you have a fear of heights this one might tickle your nerves. Please search how to get there and difficulty level before going. I would not recommend this hike in the winter time.

Tallest waterfall in Iceland. Outstanding 3-4 hours walk up to Glymur. Go up on the right site at the top you will have to wade a cross the river and go down on the other side. Beautiful landscape and adorable nature. The hill is very steep so this is not for someone who is afraid of hight.
