Beautiful little waterfall that pours into the fjord not far from Seydisfjordur. The waterfall can be reached directly from the road or better gravel path.

Very close to the road that descends to Seyðisfjörður, after cresting the Fjarðarheiði mountain pass, several waterfalls appear, cascading white curtains into the valley. The most visible is Gufufoss, known as the "little sister of Skógafoss" for its resemblance: a wide, powerful, and very photogenic waterfall. Access is easy from the road, and there's plenty of room to stop by bike or on foot without any hassle. The waterfall is framed by green mountains, and on sunny days, it's not uncommon to see rainbows in the mist. It's the perfect welcome before reaching the picturesque fishing village of Seyðisfjörður.
