Dettifoss
Waterfall

Directions

Feel the raw, untamed power of Europe's most formidable waterfall, located in the heart of Vatnajökull National Park. A 10-20 minute walk over rocky terrain from the car park brings you to the edge of the Jökulsárgljúfur canyon, where you can feel the ground vibrate as glacial meltwater plunges over a 100-meter-wide precipice.

Note: You will need the Parka app to pay for parking
