Hengifoss is a stunning 128-metre tall waterfall located in the Fljótsdalshreppur municipality of East Iceland. This magical destination is easily accessible with a 50 minute hike and offers many amazing attractions such as Litlanesfoss, Hofdavik and Hallormsstaðaskógur. Surrounded by layers of basaltic strata, this waterfall offers beautiful views and has also preserved fossilized trees in between its thin layers of red clay. Visitors come to these falls for its family-friendly activities, picturesque views and expert hiking routes. It's no wonder why Hengifoss is one of the most popular and breath-takingwaterfall tours in all of East Iceland!
