Ketubjorg
From the car park, we climbed over a stile before walking onto a rolling and hilly grassy area. Eventually, the sheer dropoffs prevented any further progress, and we had to be careful not to get too close to the cliff edges. The falls seemed a bit distant from our vantage point, but it was still close enough to be easily photographable without a telephoto lens.
It's also possible to come here from Akyreyri, but that would involve driving west on Ring Road getting off on Route 75 and following it as it eventually joins with Route 745. If you're driving on this route, check out the turf farms at Glaumbaer.

Directions: We drove from the direction of Blönduós and headed towards the east of town along the Ring Road turning left onto Route 74. We followed Route 74 for about 7km turning right onto Route 744. Then, we followed Route 744 for about 21km before turning left onto Route 745. We followed Route 745 north for about 26km to a small pullout with a signpost and stile nearby indicating Ketubjorg.
