Dynjandi
Simply enthralling; The Westfjords’ favourite front-page model for decades, and is never short of breathtaking. The biggest and widest part of the waterfall is the one that gets all the attention and the photos, even though there are impressive, albeit smaller, waterfalls further down the river. The waterfall and its surroundings were protected as a natural monument in 1981, as it is a unique natural gem.
Dynjandi cascades down approximately 100 meters. The waterfall steps are formed due to the stratification of the rock into lava layers and looser intermediate layers. The lava layers create the steps, while the river has carved out the intermediate layers. There are six waterfalls in Dynjandi. At the top is Fjallfoss, followed by Hundafoss, Strokkur, Göngumannafoss, Hrísvaðsfoss, and Sjóarfoss.
To appreciate the scenery, park your car in the designated lot and walk for 15 minutes to reach the largest part of the waterfall. Take in the stunning view and the refreshing air.
