Urridafoss (Urriðafoss; I think is pronounced "OOR-ri-thuh-foss") was a cascading waterfall flowing on a tributary of Jökulsá á Fjöllum amongst foliage. To be honest, I wasn't totally sure that what I've photographed on this page was the correct falls, but it was the only one of any size that we saw while walking the Katlar loop. Plus, the map sign near the car park further reinforced that this falls should be near that Katlar loop.
In any case, I think Katlar refers to a section of the Jökulsárgljúfur canyon where there were a handful of waterfalls seeping into the maze of rifts and fractures within the small canyon.
I managed to notice this waterfall as I was leaving the Katlar loop going back uphill alongside this cascade.
Directions: Access to this waterfall is the same as that for Hólmarfossar, which is at the Hólmatungur car park. See that page for driving directions.
