Kirkjufellsfoss (waterfall)

Kirkjufellsfoss (waterfall) has a short drop but is very beautiful. The Kirkjufellsfoss is situated in the Kirkjufellsá (Kirkjufell river) getting its water from the eastern part of the rather high and extended mountain ridge called Helgrindur, an extinct volcano that erupted many thousands of years ago. On its way down from Helgrindur (that can be translated with The Peaks of Hell), nature has created a great number of beautiful waterfalls in the river Kirkjufellsá. The distinctive characteristic mountain Kirkjufell is nearby, being the main trademark of the village of Grundarfjörður.
