Háifoss-waterfall, Iceland

The Háifoss waterfall is 122 m. high, being one of the highest waterfalls in Iceland.

Cited from Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/haifoss):

 

"The waterfall Háifoss is situated near the volcano Hekla in the south of Iceland. The river Fossá, a tributary of Þjórsá, drops here from a height of 122 m. This is the second highest waterfall of the island.

 

From the historical farm Stöng, which was destroyed by a volcanic eruption of Hekla in the Middle Ages and reconstructed, it is possible to hike to the waterfall along the Fossá (5 to 6 hours both directions). Above the waterfall, there is also a parking lot, so the hiking can also be made in the other direction."
