Waterfall

Message from Misha Martin

Systrafoss Waterfall, located in Kirkjubaejarklaustur on Iceland's South Coast, is more than just a pretty sight by the roadside. Standing at around 196 to 262 feet high, this waterfall boasts two cascading streams that create a picturesque scene against the mountainside. Its rich history and folklore add an intriguing layer to its beauty, with tales of nuns, golden combs, and mysterious disappearances. Nearby attractions like Systravatn lake, Songhellirinn cave, and other waterfalls make it a perfect stop on your Icelandic adventure. Just watch your step in winter when the waters freeze over!
