Hidden gem waterfall in Iceland

Sightseeing

Message from Dani Guindo

Írárfoss waterfall, located in South Iceland between Hvolsvöllur and Vík, is a hidden gem cascading 30 meters like a delicate veil against the rock. The river flows through a narrow gorge before plunging off the cliff edge in a powerful stream. Legend has it that the river's name comes from an Irish settler who was forced out by his Norse neighbors. Easily accessible from the road, Írárfoss offers a tranquil spot surrounded by cliffs, perfect for a quick stop or a leisurely hour-long visit to soak in the countryside charm.
