About
Árbæjarfoss is a 10-meter waterfall on the Ytri-Rangá river in Iceland's South Coast.
At a group of rocks the river drops roughly 10 metres across a span some 50 metres wide before flowing on into the Hólsá. The falls take their name from the neighbouring farm Árbær and are reached by the Árbæjarvegur, which branches north off the Ring Road.
Quieter than the famous falls. More intimate. The kind of place where you can actually hear yourself think.
If there's a path, stick to it. The terrain around waterfalls is slippery and the moss is fragile. Iceland appreciates visitors who respect the land.
