About Gufufoss
Gufufoss is one of the most accessible and impressive waterfalls in the Seyðisfjörður valley. Water drops in a broad curtain from a dark cliff only a short distance from Road 93, making it an easy stop while travelling between Egilsstaðir and Seyðisfjörður.
Our practical tips
✓It is almost impossible to justify driving past this one — the stop is extremely quick.
✓Expect spray when the waterfall is carrying plenty of water.
✓Combine it naturally with the Fjarðarheiði drive.
