    Huge waterfall. Not high but very wide. You have to pay 700isk to get in, but you park right next to the falls. Very pretty, worth the stop

    Nice looking waterfall, but you have to pay to get access to it. There are many beautiful waterfalls in Iceland that are free, so I would advice to find one of those.

    A nice, not so popular waterfall. The GPS will take you almost to the right place, but it's vary easy to find. Go for it.
