#46 Þjórsárdalur, Háifoss & Gjáin – 1 Day
This is the day I guide when people ask me for waterfalls without the crowds, now in your hands. Þjórsárdalur is a valley under Hekla, the volcano medieval Europe called the gateway to Hell. In 1104 it buried the farms here in ash. Today the valley is green again, and almost empty.
Written by Bijo — a licensed Icelandic guide (15 years, 8,000+ travellers). This is the route as I drive it myself.
• A timetable for every day — when to leave, how long at each stop, when you arrive
• Tap-to-navigate links and the Google Map
• My notes on every stop, where to sleep and eat, costs and a packing list
