Very nice hidden waterfall and totally not touristy. There is a dirt road that you have to take for few kilometers before reaching it. Being there in September 2020, they were building there a platform from where you can view the waterfall, so it seems they are developing the environment around and plan to bring more tourists. If you can manage to see the waterfall prior to that, it will definitely have more charm!

Worth seeing but 4x4 car is highly recommended to drive there. It's nice waterfall on the blue water near some beautiful mountains. One of hidden gems of Iceland that you must see. Stunning place.

I earmarked to visit this waterfall so after Haifoss we crossed the bridge and took Rd 26 towards Hella. The 4km drive detour from Rd 26 to the waterfall is a dirt road// pot holed in some areas but comfortably drivable without difficulty with our 2 wd Nissan nv200 camper. It was a dry day with no rains in early June 2018.
This waterfall is part of the longest river in Iceland. It is surrounded by lava rocks on a lava field some lava rocks with purple hues which I did not visualize when visiting but appeared on my photos. There was so much water flowing when we visited. One can see some of the nugget rocks on the river which give the river a beautiful characteristic appearance. There are basalt columns on the side walls where the powerful waterfall drops into the raging blue river. Added the mountain on the backdrop makes this whole landscape looks absolutely stunning. The changing seasons, time of day and amount of water flowing will give a photographer a different prospective each time. We were the only ones at the scene on our visit.

A past , breathtaking views, each of the waterfalls of southern Iceland is worth it, because they have their own hallmarks, they are different.
