Helgufoss is one of those lesser-known waterfalls near Reykjavik that feels like your own little secret. 💧 It’s tucked away in the Mosfellsdalur valley, and the hike to get there is short and easy — about 20-30 minutes along a peaceful river.

The waterfall itself is about 12 metres tall and surrounded by rugged cliffs and lush greenery. It’s not massive like Skógafoss or Gullfoss, but that’s what makes it special. It’s quiet, serene, and you’ll probably have it all to yourself. 🌿

This spot is perfect if you want a quick nature escape without driving too far. Bring a coffee or snack and just chill by the falls — it’s a lovely little hidden gem.
