Hengifoss is a stunning waterfall in East Iceland, standing at 128 meters tall and surrounded by basaltic strata. The hike to the waterfall is popular and takes about 50 minutes from the nearby parking lot. Along the way, you'll pass another waterfall called Litlanesfoss and enjoy views of the river Hengifossá. Don't forget to check out the fossilized trees in the layers of rock! It's definitely worth a visit on your Icelandic adventure.
