Helgufoss is a charming and often overlooked waterfall located just a short drive from Reykjavík. It’s a peaceful spot, surrounded by lush greenery in the summer, making it a perfect quick stop for those looking to escape the more crowded tourist attractions. The waterfall cascades into the Kaldakvísl River, creating a serene and picturesque scene.
The walk to the waterfall is short and relatively easy, but the path can be muddy, so wear appropriate footwear. It’s a great spot for a picnic on a sunny day. Since it’s less known, you’ll likely have the place to yourself, especially on weekdays.
