Hrauneyjafoss is a waterfall in the Þjórsá river, located in Iceland’s highland region near Hrauneyjar. The waterfall forms where the river flows forcefully over lava formations and rocky steps.

Hrauneyjafoss is known for its powerful flow and large volume of water, especially during periods of high discharge in the river. The surrounding landscape is characterized by rugged highland terrain, wide open spaces, and raw natural forces.

The waterfall is part of a river system influenced by hydropower development in the area, and its flow has been shaped by human infrastructure. Despite this, Hrauneyjafoss remains an impressive site for visitors seeking to experience the power of Icelandic rivers and highland nature.
