Experience the even cascade of Faxafoss in a tranquil setting

Faxafoss, also known as Faxi, is an impressive waterfall in South Iceland, where the water plunges evenly and broadly over the Tungufljót river. Surrounded by lush vegetation, this hidden gem on the Golden Circle route offers a peaceful atmosphere far from the tourist crowds. The picturesque scenery makes Faxafoss a sought-after photo subject, especially during the lupin bloom. A viewing platform allows you to experience the full width and beauty of the waterfall from close up. You can also spot a fish ladder for salmon here.

Getting to Faxafoss is easy, with a small car park close to the waterfall giving you convenient access. A short walking trail leads from the car park to the viewing platform, which offers 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 brief stop or a longer stay, depending on how much time you want to spend in this charming natural setting.
