Þórufoss -

Guðmundur R. K.

Þórufoss er stærsti fossinn í
Laxá í Kjós í Kjósarskarði. Við
Kjósarskarðsveg er bílastæði Þaðan er gönguleið niður í gilið,
dálítið óslétt en allt í lagi ef farið er varlega,einnig er hægt að skoða
fossinn ofanfrá.það er hægt að
fara mjög nálægt og út á eyri
fyrir framan fossinn ef ekki er
mikið vatn í ánni. Mér fannst fossinn flottur og vel þess virði
að ganga þarna niður. Þegar ég var þarna var hægt að fara út á
eyrina án nokkurra vandkvæða

Fallegur foss á óvæntum stað - A beautiful waterfall in an unexpected location

Lovely waterfall just below the level of the road. Small parking area for ~ a dozen cars. It’s was full at noon on a Sunday when we visited, but visits are quick. There is no trail - you just meander East over spongy moss, gravel, and rocks to see the falls - the path is mostly flat, but the walk would be difficult for anyone with mobility challenges. Lovely quick stop!

Was a cool stop in the morning and easy to get up close to the base of the falls. Plenty of parking.
The start of the trail down is not clear at all. If you just entered the parking lot, start the trail off to the right side by crossing the small dip and then walking down along the hillside down to the river.

A quiet and lesser-known waterfall not far from Þingvellir. It’s easy to miss if you just follow the main road, but definitely worth a short detour.

Þórufoss is tall, elegant, and beautifully set in a peaceful valley with almost no crowds — when we visited, we had the whole place to ourselves. The waterfall is also known for appearing in Game of Thrones (season 4, when the dragon attacks the goats), which makes it a fun stop for fans of the series.

Parking is just a minute’s walk from the viewpoint, so it’s an easy and rewarding stop on a Golden Circle route.

Magnifique, avec la chance d’être tout seul , situé juste en bord de route , il y a la possibilité de descendre et aussi d’aller juste à côté de la chute , on y a passé au moins une heure mais cela aurait pu être plus tellement l’endroit est superbe

Þórufoss is one of those waterfalls that truly feels like a secret — quiet, majestic, and tucked just off the Golden Circle route, but without the big tour crowds. It may not be as famous as Gullfoss or Seljalandsfoss, but that’s part of what makes it so special.

Game of Thrones fans might recognize it as a filming location, but even if you’ve never seen the show, the beauty of Þórufoss speaks for itself.

Wir fanden das es einer der schönsten Wasserfälle war. Er ist sehr breit und ruhig gelegen. Vom Parkplatz aus kann man ihn nicht sehen. Man muss etwas steil und abenteuerlich nach unten gehen. Sind aber nur ein paar Meter und man kann bis nach vorne gehen. Wir waren komplett alleine hier 😉 kann ich nur empfehlen!
