This waterfall is a must for those traveling with a 4x4 vehicle. Far away from the tourist crowds, it is a jewel in the landscape. In fine weather, a constant rainbow is formed.

Ófærufoss is a very beautiful waterfall that can only be reached by 4x4. Then it's a good half hour's walk from the parking lot upstream

One of the finest waterfalls in Iceland. Must stop if you are travelling on road F208. If you can, go in the evening or early in the morning, there will likely be no one else around.

Note: Getting to the Parking area requires one medium river crossing, one of the wides on road f208.

However, you could also park the car by the first river crossing, next to the Warden's cabin. Reaching that point is doable with any car allowed for f-roads without crossing rivers. That adds a couple of KMs each way, but the hike is easy enough and you will not risk killing your rental car.
