Crossing the bridge across Lagarflj贸t on Rte 931, you鈥檒l reach the parking area for lovely Hengifoss, Iceland鈥檚 second-highest waterfall. The falls plummet 128m into a photogenic brown-and-red-striped boulder-strewn gorge.
Getting to Hengifoss requires a return walk of one to two hours (2.5km each way). From the car park, a staircase and path lead up the hillside 鈥 Hengifoss is soon visible in the distance. It鈥檚 a steep climb in places but flattens out as you enter the canyon.
Halfway to Hengifoss is a noteworthy smaller waterfall, Litlanesfoss, surrounded by vertical basalt columns in a honeycomb formation.
