Kirkjufellsfoss Waterfall

Kirkjufellsfoss ("Church Mountain Falls") was a short but stunning waterfall located on the north side of the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, near the magnificent Kirkjufell mountain. Photographers will appreciate capturing the tranquillity of the lake against the majestic mountain in the background. It takes 2.5 hours to get here from Reykjavik. The falls are only a 5-minute walk from the parking area. Kirkjufellsfoss is marked with a blue sign. You can already see the double waterfall, but for the finest photo, walk towards Kirkjufellsfoss, cross the river, and walk down till you have the perfect perspective.

The Kirkjufellsfoss waterfall is one of the best in Iceland, especially when seen at midnight. It's also a lovely sight in the winter when it's covered in snow and ice and sparkles beneath the beautiful northern lights. The river Kirkjufellsá runs down from the volcano Helgrindur and has three waterfalls in it, all called Kirkjufellsfoss.
