Glymur, Iceland’s second-tallest waterfall, stands at an impressive 198 meters (650 feet) and is located near Hvalfjordur, about an hour’s drive north of Reykjavik. The waterfall is accessible via a moderate 3-4-hour hiking loop that involves multiple river and stream crossings. Along the trail, hikers are rewarded with stunning views of the canyon and the cascading water. The journey to Glymur, while requiring some effort, offers a memorable experience with its natural beauty and scenic vistas.
