Directions

Welcome to Goðafoss, the 'Waterfall of the Gods'! This place is a local treasure, and you'll see why as soon as you witness the powerful, horseshoe-shaped cascade. It's incredibly easy to get to, with paved paths leading you right from the car park to several stunning viewpoints in just a few minutes. For a different perspective, you can walk the easy 1.8-mile loop trail that connects both the east and west banks, giving you a full sense of its grandeur. No matter which side you view it from, the sheer force and beauty of the water are truly something to behold.

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