Reykjafoss Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

You have two viewpoints for the waterfall. Here you have the first one, where you look straight at the waterfall.
Reykjafoss is a beautiful waterfall in the north of Iceland, located in the Skagafjörður region. It is one of Iceland's hidden treasures. Reykjafoss is located about 7 km south of Varmahlíð. You can easily get there via the Ring Road (road no. 1), where you turn to road no. 752 and then to road no. 753.
The waterfall flows through the rocks and falls into the Húseyjarkvísl river from a height of about 20 meters. The water eventually flows to the Atlantic Ocean.
Surrounded by fields of flowers, Reykjafoss offers panoramic views of the waterfall with towering mountains in the background.

Fosslaug Hot Spring

Highlight • Natural Monument

The spring features a cold-water stream flowing through the river approximately 164 feet (50 meters) from the hot pool. Despite having a muddy bottom, the water in this hot spring is pretty clear, and the temperature is not so hot, making it conducive for soaking and relaxing.
