Rauðufossar (Red Waterfall) is one of Iceland’s lesser-known 60-meter waterfalls, undoubtedly due to its more challenging accessibility. Otherwise, it offers beautiful nature and a refreshing hike, with stunning views from the edge of the waterfall. And I’ll let you in on a secret. If you take about an hour-long journey upstream along the Rauðufossakvísl river, you’ll witness possibly the most beautiful river source you have ever seen and will ever see, the magical red eye – Rauðauga.
Rauðufossar is located in the central part of Iceland, near the F225 road. Find this small parking area (GPS: 64.033524, -19.346582) and from there, embark on about an hour-long trek towards the waterfall.
