Once you get off at the nearest stop, you may need to hike approximately 4-5 kilometers along a marked path to reach Sigoldufoss. Be sure to wear good hiking shoes and bring water and snacks for the hike.

The hike is approximately 15 kilometers and will take you through stunning landscapes and hot springs.
