Waterfalls of Iceland
Gufufoss is an impressive waterfall located at the head of Seyðisfjörður in East Iceland. The waterfall lies directly beside the road leading up the Fjarðarheiði mountain pass, making it impossible to pass by without noticing it.
The waterfall plunges down a steep cliff and produces a large amount of spray and mist, especially near its base. This constant spray gives the waterfall its name and creates a powerful and dynamic appearance, particularly during periods of high water flow or windy conditions.
Gufufoss is a popular stop for travelers and photographers due to its easy access and dramatic setting. It is an excellent place to pause, enjoy the surrounding scenery, and experience the raw power of flowing water in the rugged landscape of East Iceland.
Gufufoss is located by Fjarðaheiði near Seyðisfjörður. Its name refers to the mist produced by the waterfall, which can surround it like steam.
