"Skogafoss is one of the country's most beautiful waterfalls. Legend his it that Prasi, the Viking who settled Skogar,
hid a chest of gold behind the waterfall. Later, a young lad attempted to retrieve the treasure, but only managed to grasp
a ring on the side of the chest before it disappeared once more. The ring was affixed to the church door at Skogar, and is
now the pride of the local museum. When the sun is shining, you can see traces of Prasi's gold in the shimmering spray of
the waterfall. Skogafoss is 62 meters high." (203 feet)
