Tips
The Hengifoss is the fourth highest waterfall in Iceland with a height of 118 m. In the lava background of the waterfall one finds reddish, grainy layers of clay, which are formed of volcanic ash (Tephra). The reddish color is obtained by the contained iron oxide.

Very impressive rock formations (the waterfall itself is not that spectacular)!

It's best to come here in the morning/morning, when the mountain doesn't cast any shadows and you can see the different layers of rock glowing.
