Hænubrekkufoss

Hænubrekkufoss is a scenic and easily accessible waterfall located in the Berufjarðará river in East Iceland. The waterfall is situated close to the road crossing the Öxi mountain pass, making it a convenient stop for travelers without the need for a long hike.

The waterfall flows over a rocky ledge into a narrow and green gorge, creating a picturesque scene as the water cascades into the river below. The surrounding landscape is characterized by lush vegetation, rock formations, and a peaceful atmosphere.

One of the unique features of Hænubrekkufoss is the possibility to walk behind the waterfall, although this requires a short scramble and some caution. From behind the falls, visitors gain a different perspective and can experience the sound and movement of the water up close.

Hænubrekkufoss is popular among photographers and nature lovers, offering beautiful scenery and easy access. It is an ideal place to take a short break while traveling over the Öxi pass and to enjoy the natural beauty of East Iceland in a calm and relaxed setting.
