How do I get to the Tröllafoss trailhead?
Tröllafoss is in Reykjavík Area. Use the map on this page for the trailhead coordinates and check live road conditions before you drive — some trailheads sit on gravel or F-roads that need a 4×4 and only open in summer.

Tell someone your plan (or file one at safetravel.is), carry a charged phone and layers, check the forecast, and turn back if fog, wind or rising rivers set in. Don’t rely on phone signal.
When is the best time to hike Tröllafoss?
Most Icelandic hiking is a June–September activity, when trails are snow-free and daylight is long. Highland routes open later and close earlier; check road and trail status before committing.
