Flogufoss, Cascading waterfall in Breiddalur Valley, Eastern Iceland.

The Flogufoss waterfall drops 60 meters from the cliffs, creating a powerful stream that flows through a natural stone arch near its summit.

The water course of Flogufoss changed its direction approximately twenty years ago when it started flowing through the stone arch formation at its peak.

The waterfall name combines Icelandic words Flögu, referring to the river, and foss, the traditional Nordic term for waterfall commonly used across Iceland.

Visitors can reach the waterfall by taking Road 1 to Road 966, followed by a 15-minute walk from the designated parking area near Breiddalsvík.

The waterfall features a smaller cascade that pours onto a natural terrace near the top, creating multiple levels of water flow against dark basalt cliffs.
