Gufufoss

Region: East Iceland
Coordinates: 65.2398959° N 14.0575765° W

Gufufoss is a moderately sized waterfall found just outside of the city of Egilsstaðir along the road leading to Seydisfjordur. The falls plunge 63 feet in two steps, with drops of 19 and 44 feet, into a narrow canyon.

As the stream continues down the hill, the canyon makes a sharp bend to the left just below the falls, providing a unique horseshoe bend type vista of the falls, but also hiding the falls from view until one hikes to a point that looks directly up the gorge.
