Getting there

Car

From the main road (Route 1, also known as the Ring Road), take Route 26 towards the Highlands. Continue on Route 26 until you reach the junction with Route 30. Turn onto Route 30 and follow it until you see signs for Fagrifoss. The waterfall is approximately 15 km from the junction, and you may need to drive on gravel roads. Ensure your vehicle is suitable for highland driving. There are no fees for accessing the site itself.

Public Transportation

Public transportation options are limited in the Highlands. You can take a bus from Reykjavik to Hella via the South Coast route. From Hella, you will need to arrange a taxi or a local shuttle service to get to Fagrifoss, as public buses do not serve this area directly. Be sure to check the bus schedules in advance, as they may vary seasonally. Taxis can be expensive, so it’s advisable to share the ride with other travelers if possible.

Hiking

If you are already in the vicinity of Fagrifoss and prefer a more adventurous route, you can hike to the waterfall. There are several hiking trails in the region leading to Fagrifoss. Ensure you have a map or a GPS device, as the trails can be unmarked. Always check the weather conditions and make sure you have appropriate hiking gear. This option is free, but make sure to plan for the time it will take to hike.
