Hjálparfoss

We made this detour off the GCR - about 1 hour from the Kerið crater. Definitely off the beaten path. Parking is free and there are hardly any visitors at all. We had the whole place to ourselves for a long time. Beautiful waterfall. Pretty short one compared to others. The drive out here is beautiful with snow capped mountains in the distance with rivers and lakes in the foreground. It was freezing cold and windy when we went in December so we didn’t stay out too long.

A quick and nice visit on our way out to Haifoss. A good "warmup" that was calm and serene. The 2 falls join together into a wide pool below where 2 people were fishing. A short and interesting walk along the rim to get a few vantage points as well.

Really cool waterfall. I didn't see anything else like this on my trip around the island. Easy and plenty of parking (wasn't crowded at all when we went mid afternoon on Sunday, mid-April 2025). Great views right from the parking lot. This seemed to be a less traveled part of the island, but that could also be attributed to going during the shoulder season.

Beautiful falls. Easy to locate on Google maps and plenty of parking. Was not populated at all with tourists. Just be careful if climbing down the rocks to reach the water. Ideal to go on a nice weather day to take some pictures around the area. You will not regret the visit!

Beautiful U shaped waterfalls, one of Iceland’s 10,000! It's like a pair of cojoined twins holding hands together. There’s a loop trail to get real close to the waterfall. Quick 20 minute stop. Lots of parking and usually empty without the touristy vibe. Restrooms available.

Easy to reach from the road and worth a quick, scenic stop

Very beautiful and impressive even in October with rain and fog

Beautiful waterfall experience. Easy to access, with a parking area a few minutes off of the main road. Short trail from the parking area down to the waterfall. Incredible views, and you can get close to the falls.
