Dettifoss, located in North Iceland, is a 45 meters tall powerhouse waterfall that ranks as the second most powerful in Europe.

The waterfall can be visited from both sides. The west side has paved road, big parking lot and toilets. The east side is less visited and less busy and perhaps my favourite side despite rough gravel road and more difficult approach.
🚗 Road: Paved (866 - west) / Gravel (864 - east)
🅿️ Parking: Free

🚶Distance from car: A short 10 min walk

❄️ Winter: Road 864 on the east side is closed and paved 862 on the west side closes too when snow comes. That said i've seen it reopen when there's a decent weather forecast/not much snow.
🚁 Drones: The use of drones is permitted at the following times of the day, which vary depending on the time of year and the sunrise/sunset

• March 1st to April 30th – before 10:00 or after 16:00.

• May 1st to August 31st – before 8:00 or after 18:00.

• September 1st to October 31st – before 10:00 or after 16:00

• November 1st to February 29th – no time-of-day restrictions, but general conditions apply.

Within the park boundaries at Dettifoss, you may only fly over the canyon itself. Due to bird protection, it is not allowed to fly further north than the northernmost viewing platform west of Dettifoss (where the red shaded area on the map begins).
