Hvitserkur waterfall is a charming waterfall in West Iceland, just 22 miles (36 kilometers) north of Thingvellir National Park. This hidden gem is a beautiful natural wonder that you’ll be happy to visit when you’re in the land of fire and ice. Hvitserkur waterfall is one of the most stunning hidden gems that Iceland has to offer. People love visiting this waterfall because you can view it from several viewpoints. You can either stand at the bottom or go to the top to see the water cascade down. 

A view from the bottom will let you appreciate the contrast of the clear waters dropping against the dark rocks or cliffs. 

On the other hand, a view from the top will let you see the Fitjaa river on the Hvitserksgljufur gully before it falls on the cliff. You can even stand on top of the waterfall because the river current is shallow and isn’t that strong.

Both views can give you great angles to take some great landscape pictures and videos.
