" About: Urriðafoss is Iceland’s largest waterfalls in terms of how much water runs through it. It's a great pit stop to stretch your legs, and it's NOT very popular so there's usually no one else around! Rating: 3/5 Time: 10 minutes Walking: very little - you can see the falls from the parking lot, or walk down to a viewing platform to get closer. 4wd?: no Pro tip: There is talk of building a hydroelectric power stations in the river, which might either change the waterfall drastically or simply make it disappear, so see it while you can!"

"This is a smaller multitiered waterfall that is often overlooked but is prime fly fishing ground. Unfortunately, all river fishing is private so you must book with a charter to get a permit. This is the perfect place for lunch, and if you're a Walter Mitty fan, you can check out the neighboring Walter Mitty Bridge. Just don't drive over it because it's out of commission and you're driving into someones farm. "
