2026.08.12. - 11:30-12:30 A Westfjord és talán Izland egyik legszebb és legnagyobb vízesése. Az idevezető út is különleges, át a hegyeken, szép kilátásokkal. Az út egy része kavicsos murvás, de könnyen járható. A vízesés kb 100 méter magas, és az alján kb 60 méter széles. Nagyon szép, magával ragadó látvány. Egészen a tövéig fel lehet menni a parkolótól. A kb 20 perces ‘túra’ során több más vízesés is látható. Az ösvény jól járható, de nem akadálymentesített, és néhol köveken kell átlépni. Hihetetlen élmény ott állni a vízesés lábánál. A hely közkedvelt célpont, ezért napközben sokan vannak, de a tömeg jól eloszlik, kevésbé zsúfolt. Az első parkoló pici, de picit lejjebb az úton van még egy parkoló. Ha jól emlékszem 1000 ISK a parkolás, de cserébe tiszta mosdók, piknikasztalok, sőt tűzrakó helyek vannak. Kb 1,5 óra alatt kényelmesen bejárható a hely fotózással. Drónozni sajnos nem szabad.
