Cross the stream and hike up to the Sjónarsker viewpoint.

Good view of the fall from the bridge. But you can still walk to the platform.

The bridge itself is rather unspectacular, but the view of the waterfall is almost as good as from the platform. And on the west side, someone really put a lot of effort into the steps.
