Hengifoss Waterfall
About the place
Hengifoss Waterfall drops from a high basalt cliff layered with red clay bands. The waterfall forms the upper section of a deep river gorge carved into volcanic rock. Along the trail, visitors pass Litlanesfoss with its columnar basalt formations. The ascent is steady and offers wide views of the surrounding valley. Hengifoss is a key natural landmark of the East Iceland highlands.
