Stjórnarfoss Waterfall is a pretty hidden gem in southern Iceland. It's very close to the main road but still gets overlooked by most. With a picturesque backdrop of volcanic rocks and green slopes, Stjórnarfoss offers a calming view surrounded by cliffs. Locals also make visits here to enjoy the tranquility or even to take a dip on hot summer days (I can personally recommend that!).

QUICK NOTES:

  • What it is: A pretty waterfall near Kirkjubæjarklaustur, South Iceland.

  • Best season: Summer.

  • Best time of day: Sunrise / midday (it will be in the shade most of the day and at sunset, always pretty though).

  • Nice to know: There is a nice (but very basic) campsite about 2 minutes away from the waterfall.
