Djupavikurfoss Waterfall

Djúpavíkurfoss falls in stages down the mountainside behind Djúpavík, a tiny, near-abandoned village on the remote Strandir coast, before reaching Reykjarfjörður. What matters here is the setting: the falls drop right above the concrete herring factory that made Djúpavík boom in the 1930s and left it near-empty after the herring vanished by the 1950s. A single hotel, the rusting works and a few houses sit beneath the cascade, right by gravel Route 643, with a steep trail climbing alongside for a fjord view.
