Kirkjufellsfoss

Kirkjufellsfoss




Kirkjufellsfoss is a short but very well-situated waterfall near the distinctive Kirkjufell mountain on the north side of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. We happened to see this waterfall while we were rushing to catch our ferry ride in Stykkisholmur from Ólafsvík. I'm sure it would've been nice to chill out a bit longer and experience this falls in other ways, but because time was of the essence, we couldn't linger.

I found this waterfall particularly attractive given the reflections in the inlet the morning that we showed up.

Directions: We found this waterfall about 23km east of Ólafsvík along Route 54. I believe there were a handful of roadside pullouts we were able to take advantage of, but there was also a turnoff leading even closer to the falls (which we didn't take due to time constraints).
