Gufufoss

Gufufoss

Gufufoss is a striking waterfall and one of many on the scenic River Fjardara, on its journey alongside the approach road to Seydisfjordur.  

The vertical curtain of water plunges 27m over a basalt ledge and is signposted from the road, where there a small parking area.  To reach the foot of the falls, there is a short footpath. 

Gufufoss translates at 'Spray Falls' and in the spring melt, the waterfall churns up a significant cloud of fine mist. The waterfall is best viewed in the early morning when the sun hits it full on.
