Litlanesfoss

About

A waterfall in East Iceland, known for its basalt columns.

Why go

• Less visited than Iceland’s famous south-coast falls
• Fewer crowds to enjoy the beauty

Must try

• Waterfall framed by perfect basalt columns
• Basalt columns that look almost unreal
• Insane basalt columns
• Striking red volcanic layers
• Towering basalt columns formed by cooling lava

Pro tips

• 30–40 Minute uphill hike from the parking area
• On the same hiking route that leads toward Hengifoss
• Paid car park at the trailhead
• Hiking shoes are highly recommended
• Bring an extra layer

Good to know

• Trail stops before reaching Hengifoss due to falling rocks
• Can be icy in winter
