Þórufoss

Þórufoss is a wide and graceful waterfall set in a quiet, lava-filled valley just east of Þingvellir National Park. The water fans out over a broad basalt edge, creating a striking yet peaceful scene. The area remains mostly untouched and rarely crowded, making it ideal for travelers seeking solitude. The waterfall gained international attention after appearing in Game of Thrones but still retains its remote and authentic feel.

Tips & Insights

The viewpoint from the top offers a wonderful perspective, but you can also walk down a steep path to get closer to the falls. Light is often best in late afternoon as the sun drops behind the hills. Be cautious, as the path can be slippery. The waterfall is located just off the road, making it a very accessible stop.
