Klifbrekkufossar

Reviewed By Honeylorns - San Diego, United States

Going here is you have to drive down the mountain, you see cliff along the sides when in the car. We hiked along the side, it was foggy we we’re able to see just the first waterfall then when the fog disappeared it was actually six’s continues waterfalls. I love this place, colorful surrounding.

Svartifoss Waterfall

Reviewed By _eli_9009 - Düsseldorf, Germany

We parked at the other parking, not the main one, and walked the small trail (marked as red - difficult) up the hill. It is not really difficult, only compared to the other way from the main parking marked as blue, it is more wild (& more fun) :) In total it took us 2h walking up, staying and the waterfall taking fotos and coming back down. Be careful as some part of the trail might be covered by ice in winter (very slippery).

Fardagafoss is located close to the road to Seydisfjördur, a few kilometres out of Egilsstadir. There is a hike of about 30 Minutes from the parking area up to the waterfall.On the way you'll have a nice view to Egilsstadir and the lake Lagarfljot.

Litlanesfoss

Reviewed By jazsacher - Bangkok, Thailand

I was totally mesmerized by the Litlanesfoss Waterfall. It was huge even from afar and the hexagonal volcanic rock columns on either side of the fall highlights the surreal nature of site. What makes this visit even more worthwhile is the fun hike leading up to Litlanesfoss. I found this waterfall much more satisfying to visit than it's taller neighbor Hengifoss which is further up the trail. This was an awe inspiring fall to visit and would recommend the visit trek and visit to anyone.

Gufufoss

Reviewed By DH6040 - Pittsburgh, United States

Very nice waterfall along the road down to Seydsifjordur. It is well worth a stop. You don't necessarily need to stay long, although if you are into photography it is a great place to set up your tripod and snap away. We visited on our way into Seydsifjordur and then again the next morning as we left town. It seems to get a bit crowded during the day so we were sure to be there early in the morning as we were on our way. If you're there during a busier time of day/year, you might have difficulty avoiding people in your shot. There is a trail nearby to see many more waterfalls. They can tell you more about it at the visitor information center in town.
