DETTIFOSS WATERFALL

Located within the Vatnajokull National Park, Dettifoss prides itself on its status as the second most powerful waterfall in Europe after the Rhine.

Falling from a height of almost 144 feet above sea level, the waterfall attracts tourists to itself throughout the year, making it a highlight in various Iceland tour packages. A powerful mist surrounds the waterfall on all sides, making it one of the most dazzling places to see in Iceland. A small observation platform before the falls offers fantastic front-seat views of it. Several hiking trails snake their way across the falls, offering some splendid views of the area.

Location: Vatnajokull National Park, Iceland 

Best time to visit: Between May and August, when the roads to the waterfall remain accessible
