Hengifoss

Hengifoss is the third highest waterfall in Iceland and one of east Iceland's most stunning sights. The hike up takes roughly an hour not far off the ring road.
The view you get after a 2.5km hike to the falls. As a treat on the way you get fantastic views and 2 other waterfalls on the way up.
The smaller of the two waterfalls of Hengifoss. Flanked by basalt columns formed during the intense heat & pressures of a lava flow. #waterlust
