What makes it special
Innri-Fellsfoss sits on the Fimmvörðuháls hiking route, among the waterfalls on the river above Skógafoss. The trail passes two viewpoints over it. Opinion divides. One visitor called it a massive, beautiful fall; another found it pretty but not very spectacular. Both readings fit. It is a full, classical waterfall on a mountain river, and it stands in strong company. About ten minutes further along the trail there is another fall, which one visitor rated the more impressive of the two and singled out for the view from it. Turning back at Innri-Fellsfoss means missing that one.
Good to know
- No facilities: no toilets, no drinking water and no information board anywhere in the area. Fill your bottle before you set off.
- Two viewpoints: the trail passes two separate vantage points over the fall.
- Keep walking: another waterfall lies about ten minutes further up the trail, and one visitor rated it the better of the two.
- Bring a windproof layer: the trail runs over open ground, and there is nothing here to shelter under.
Getting there
No road reaches Innri-Fellsfoss. Drive to Skógar, leave the car and walk in along the Fimmvörðuháls hiking route, which follows the river upstream. The nearest car park is about 1.8 km away in a straight line, so the walking distance is longer than that. The trail carries on past the fall towards the pass, and the waterfalls continue with it.
