Tips
The waterfall is about 60-80 meters high and has a striking shape. The rock formations, how the water falls and the surroundings make Systrafoss one of the most photogenic waterfalls in Iceland. The name Systrafoss means 'sister waterfalls' and is named after a monastery that was located in Kirkjubæjarklaustur in the Middle Ages. 'Systra' refers to the nuns in the monastery.
