Öxarárfoss
 Öxarárfoss (Oxararfoss without the Icelandic characters) is actually an artificially created waterfall due to water diversion that took place several centuries ago to support assemblies or Þings. Situated in the UNESCO World Heritage Area - Þingvellir - the falls gives waterfall lovers an excuse to visit Iceland's most important historical site. Þingvellir is one of the major attractions on the Golden Circle and is about 54km east of Reykjavik via the shortest approach from the west (along Route 1 to Route 36 to Route 361 and finally Route 362).
