    Tips

    Litlanesfoss, also known as Stuðlabergsfoss, is a beautiful waterfall surrounded by Iceland's iconic basalt columns. The basalt columns surrounding the waterfall can be up to 20 meters (65 feet) high. This waterfall is 30 meters high in two steps and plunges into a small pond. The basalt columns surrounding the waterfall are approximately 15 to 20 meters high, making them the tallest basalt columns in the entire country.
    As written above, the highlight is out of place.

      The basalt formations of Litlanesfoss can only be seen higher up.

        Beautiful foss, surrounded by colorful grass and plants now in autumn. Fantastically beautiful!
