Worth it?
If you are driving the Westfjords, this is one of the stops creators recommend on the route. The hike from the parking area takes about 15 minutes and passes six smaller waterfalls before the 100-meter main cascade, so it suits most visitors. Look for the ruins of an old turf house near the parking lot. It is free and a protected natural monument.
Before you go
- Walk the 15-minute path and count the six smaller falls on the way.
- Look for the turf house ruins near the parking lot.
- Fit it into a Westfjords road trip, as one creator does.
