Experience the even cascade of Faxafoss in a peaceful setting

Faxafoss, also called Faxi, is an impressive waterfall in south Iceland where the water plunges broad and even across the Tungufljót river. Surrounded by lush vegetation, this hidden gem on the Golden Circle route offers a tranquil atmosphere far from the tourist masses. The picturesque scenery makes Faxafoss a sought-after photo subject, especially during the lupin blossom. A viewing platform allows you to experience the full width and beauty of the waterfall from close up. You can also see a fish ladder for salmon here.

Getting to Faxafoss is straightforward, with a small car park close to the waterfall that gives you easy access. From the car park a short walking trail leads to the viewing platform, which opens up an excellent view of the waterfall. As it is less busy here than at other waterfalls in the region, you can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere. The spot is ideal for a short stop or a longer stay, depending on how much time you want to spend in this charming natural setting.
