Kaldakvísl

Kaldakvísl hugs the north side of Grímansfell before flowing into Leirvogur.

• Tungufoss is just below the ring road.

• Above the ring road there’s a small waterfall.

• Helgufoss is the nicest waterfall in Kaldakvísl. There’s parking close by and a well-marked footpath.

• About 100m above Helgufoss there’s Litlifossinn (“the small waterfall”).

Various rivers

• The Varmá river flows through the town of Mosfellsbær. There’s a small waterfall called Álafoss close to an old wool factory of the same name. It’s a pretty unattractive area.

• Búrfellsfoss is in the river Seljadalsá southwest of the town, right next to the road.

• Tröllafoss is the most impressive waterfall in the capital area and well worth a visit. There’s a signposted track towards the waterfall on the south bank, but to get a good photograph you have to be on the north side. Park near the farm of Hrafnhólar and walk about 1km along the north bank.
