Gýgjarfoss is approximately 5 meters high and 20 meters wide, a classic example of an Icelandic glacial waterfall, with the water color revealing that it carries everything in its path.

You can find Gýgjarfoss just next to the road roughly halfway between the witch mountains of Kerlingarfjöll and the junction of roads F347 and 35.
