Hengifoss

Discover Hengifoss, a natural wonder that rises from the Hengifossá River to become Iceland's third-highest waterfall at 128 metres. It is surrounded by basaltic strata, with thin layers of red clay in between. Geologists have also discovered fossilized trunks of cold-sensitive conifers, bearing witness to warmer climates during the Tertiary Era. Along the way, you'll also come across Litlanesfoss waterfall, remarkable for its impressive basalt columns.

This hike is one of the most popular in the east of the country. The trail is perfectly laid out and marked, with no particular difficulties. An unforgettable experience and a must on your itinerary if you're exploring the eastern part of Iceland.
