Þórufoss
 Þórufoss (Thorufoss without the Icelandic letters) on the Laxá í Kjós is an attractive trapezoidal waterfall. The river is known for its quantity of feisty Atlantic Salmon. However, to access the river by the falls, you'll have to make the steep scramble (not for everyone) down a cliff strewn with loose rocks and boulders. The falls itself is not signposted so unless you have a GPS with map software, it's not easy to find. Here's the approach we ended up taking to find this waterfall... From the route 47 and 48 junction on the southern banks of Hvalfjörður, drive about 17km on route 48 until you see a pole and a pullout to your left. There was a pole when we were there by the little pullout (maybe the sign was taken off or blown down?) which served as the landmark. Tell us about your experience with this waterfall.
