Kirkjufellsfossar, Triple-tiered waterfall near Mount Kirkjufell in Western Region, Iceland
The waterfall splits into three separate cascades, falling 16 meters down into the Kirkjufellsa river against the backdrop of Mount Kirkjufell.
The original road passed directly over the waterfall, limiting visibility until its relocation enhanced the viewing experience for visitors to the site.
Local farmers maintain ownership of the surrounding land, implementing parking facilities in 2014 to address the increasing flow of visitors.
The waterfall stands approximately 177 kilometers from Reykjavik, with designated parking areas and viewing platforms accessible from Road 54.
The water originates from Helgrindur volcano, creating three distinct falls that form geometric patterns against the triangular mountain shape.
