About
Öxarárfoss is a 20-meter waterfall on the Öxará river in the Reykjavík area of Iceland.
Stand close enough and you'll feel the spray on your face. There's something primal about waterfalls - they demand your attention.
It flows from the river Öxará over the Almannagjá. The pool at the base of the waterfall is filled with rocks and is often extremely icy during winter..
Most waterfalls don't have entrance fees, but parking often costs 700-1000 ISK. Keep coins handy or download the Parka app.
