What people say

Kristen Mackiewicz
"Faxi has been described as a small version of Gullfoss but of course not as powerful. The waterfall is 80 meters wide and 7 meters high. It is a beautiful waterfall placed in a wonderful and peaceful landscape. It is also possible to walk quite near the waterfall on the lower level and feel the drizzle from the water. Although never lacking water, the waterfall has also been named Vatnsleysufoss meaning the waterfall with no water or the waterfall with shortage of water. 30 minutes to explore."
"Visiting Faxafoss is a great way to experience Iceland's natural wonders and take in the calming sound of flowing water tumbling down the river. It's easily accessible and offers a peaceful setting to enjoy nature's beauty. "
