Þakgil (Roof canyon) is one of the Iceland´s hidden gems in the South. Just bit off the Ring road you can enter the land of a fairy tale where the encounter with elves seems plausible.

Just on your way here you´ll be thinking the old good: the path is the goal.

Photography Tips

If you get closer to the river, you can use the stream of water as a beautiful foreground element in your photo with a nice contrast of all these green colors to the water.
