The black and red striped wall of the plateau is beautiful.
A red sediment layer, also known as a “red bed”, is a type of sedimentary rock that is predominantly red in color due to the presence of ferric oxides.

Hiking
A hike to Hengifoss is worth it. The colorful rock layers and the high waterfall are just great. It's now very overcrowded and the path has been badly developed - but it's still beautiful.

Hiking
From a geological point of view, one of the most exciting waterfalls in Iceland and well worth seeing. The hike does not present any problems, you should only bring a minimum of physical condition.
