FIRST-HAND ADVICE

✓This is not the Réttarfoss in the Jökulsárgljúfur system — that gets its own separate permanent ID later.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

Access is considerably less developed than at Goðafoss. Use recognised public routes and respect private land.

Bárðardalur & Skjálfandafljót

Little-visited waterfall in the Skjálfandafljót and Bárðardalur landscape.

Southern Bárðardalur

Powerful waterfall where the Skjálfandafljót plunges through a striking amphitheatre of dark basalt columns near the edge of the Highlands.

Goðafoss & Skjálfandafljót

Smaller waterfall on the Skjálfandafljót river immediately downstream from the much more famous Goðafoss.
