Háifoss

One of Iceland's tallest waterfalls at 122 meters. Located in a dramatic canyon with its smaller neighbor Granni right beside it. Remote, uncrowded, and absolutely worth the effort.

The scale is hard to grasp until you're standing there. Two waterfalls plunge into the same canyon, side by side. The drive and hike make you earn it. That's part of what makes it special.

Fed by the Fossá river, which originates in the highlands near Hekla volcano. The canyon was carved over millennia by water and ice. The name means 'high falls' — simple and accurate.

You'll need a 4x4 to get close. From the parking area, it's a short hike to the viewpoint. Come in morning for best light on the falls. Granni is the smaller neighbor — don't forget to look at both.
