Hiking

Alt 250m Steinbogafoss is a waterfall that you encounter when you walk upstream from Skógafoss along the famous Laugavegur trail. It is the third major waterfall you encounter on this route. Steinbogafoss drops about 25 feet (about 7.6 meters) in a uniform, curtain-like style that extends to about 65 feet (about 20 meters) in width.
The waterfall is easily viewed from the trail, about 900 meters past the summit of Skógafoss and about 400 meters beyond the previous waterfall.

Smaller unnamed waterfall about 300 m further than the Steinbogafoss Waterfall. This is the fourth waterfall on the Skoga trail.

Hiking

Steinbogafoss is the third major waterfall encountered as one hikes upstream from Skógafoss along the trail. The falls drop about 25 feet in a uniform curtain-style plunge that spreads to about 65 feet in width. Part of the right side of the canyon obstructs a bit of the falls from the clearest trailside views, but it remains easier to view than its immediate successor downstream.
