Múlafossur, Coastal waterfall in Sørvágs Municipality, Faroe Islands.
Múlafossur is a coastal waterfall in Sørvágs Municipality that plunges 30 meters down steep cliffs directly into the Atlantic Ocean. The water drops between the mountains Árnafjall and Eysturtindur, creating a dramatic meeting point where freshwater falls into the sea.
The waterfall marks the endpoint where the Dalsá River reaches the sea after flowing through the Gásadalur valley for thousands of years. This long water erosion carved the steep landscape that creates the dramatic drop seen today.
The natural formation represents the raw power of Faroese elements, drawing photographers and nature enthusiasts from across the globe.
A marked trail connects the village of Gásadalur to the waterfall, with a small parking area just two minutes' walk away. The route is fairly straightforward, though weather can change quickly and the terrain can be slippery near the edge.
The water cascades directly into saltwater, with no beach or estuary between the fall and the open ocean – a rare sight where river and sea meet head-on. This direct encounter gives the place an unusual character that many visitors find memorable.
