Háifoss is falling 122 meters into Fossárdalur valley which makes it the fourth highest waterfall of Iceland. Further down in the valley the river Fossá where the waterfall Háifoss is located is floating into the longest river of Iceland called Þjórsá.

It is only a 5-10 minute walk from the parking lot to the waterfall and one should not be afraid of hight. But it is worth the view to fight the fear and explore the walking paths along the canyon. Háifoss is falling on the other side of the canyon and directly beside it you can see a second waterfall called Granni.

It is important to watch your steps when walking along the paths as the canyon is very high.
