Faxi We were able to view this waterfall both from the car park (see directions below) as well as from the end of a short path descending to its base. Directions: Look for a signed turnoff for the falls along route 35 about 6km south of its junction with route 37. Note that these directions assumed you were coming from Geysir and/or Gullfoss further to the north. Follow the directions in reverse order if you're doing this waterfall first.
