About Bleiksárfoss
Bleiksá tumbles down the mountainside above the approach to Eskifjörður in a series of waterfalls. Bleiksárfoss is the highest of the group and is illuminated by floodlights, making it an especially distinctive sight during the dark winter months when the cascade may be partly or completely frozen.
Our practical tips
✓It is particularly striking after dark in winter when the waterfall is illuminated.
✓You will naturally see the Bleiksá cascades when entering Eskifjörður.
