Description
Easily the most spectacular site in Iceland’s remote Westfjords is Dynjandi Waterfall (the Thunderer), which is a collection of seven cascades resembling a tiered wedding cake. The thunderous power of the main cascade drops 100 meters (329 ft) off the edge of a mountain.
Each of the seven tiers is individually named and it is possible to walk behind the third tier, Gongufoss. Located just inland from Arnarfjordur fjord, the scenic trail to the base of the waterfall is easily accessible. There travelers have views seaward over lush valleys which make it an ideal picnic stop.
Dynjandi waterfall is the largest waterfall in the Westfjords. Many locals say that it is the most majestic and most beautiful waterfall in Iceland. It’s a protected natural monument since 1981
