Haifoss Waterfall

Haifoss is one of Iceland's tallest waterfalls, standing over 400 feet (122 meters). When it was discovered, it was supposed to be the tallest structure in Europe. Taller falls have since been discovered in the country and elsewhere in Europe. Háifoss is a waterfall in southern Iceland near the volcano Hekla. Granni's waterfall is nearby. The Fossá River, a tributary of the Jórsá, falls here at a height of 122 meters.

This waterfall is only accessible by 4x4 in South Iceland's Thjorsardalur Valley. To reach Háifoss waterfall from Reykjavík in the summertime you can rent a car and drive east on ring-road 1, pass Selfoss town and take a left turn on road 30 until you reach Árnes, where you make a right turn on road 32. Just before you reach the power plant Sultartangi, you turn left on a gravel road, which leads to Háifoss waterfall. On a Golden Circle road trip, Haifoss is a wonderful detour.
