PLAN A VISIT OR A VACATION TO ICELAND

The Icelandic Highland (not to be confused with the Scottish Highlands) is a vast uninhabited area in Iceland, covering most of the center

Háifoss is one of Iceland’s highest waterfalls, dropping 122 meters into a dramatic Highland canyon in Þjórsárdalur. Beside it is Granni, its neighbouring waterfall. The road has improved, but the drive can still be rough in a small car. The hike to the bottom adds great value, revealing the canyon’s layered lava history, while the high cliff edges demand real caution.

Dynkur, also known as Búðarhálsfoss, is a remote and beautiful waterfall on Þjórsá in the Icelandic Highland. Reaching it requires a proper 4x4 vehicle, good summer conditions, and careful planning. Unlike Iceland’s more accessible waterfalls, Dynkur is part of the journey itself: rough tracks, open Highland views, and the power of Iceland’s longest river.
