Picturesque waterfall and it’s a plus point if you can also hike to see it from the top.It has a lot more volume during the peak months, but even so it was beautiful when my family and I visited.

Beautiful nature force. Easy to get to by car as the waterfall is directly at the road.You absolutely must see the seckond level of the fall. Its totally worth the walk up. Here you can get behind the water without getting soaked. Its awsomeThere is a small climb on the way up but nothing difficult. It takes like 15 minutes to get to level 2.The path up is on the right side of the waterfall.Enjoy!

Parking along the road for around 6-7 cars. One of the nicer waterfalls on the island. Tallest one around at around 130 meters. Can get quite muddy and slippery when it rains so need to be careful if you decide to climb towards the waterfall. Can get near the back of the waterfall if you climb all the way in.

"Fossá" in the Faroese language means "river with waterfalls", and there are several streams in Faroe Island with such a name.The waterfall is located near the village of Haldarsvík in the Sunda Kommuna municipality. It goes cascading 140 metres down to the sea in two stages.We had a good day for walking, and the rocks up to the viewing platform were dry. It takes no more than two-three minutes to reach the platform but the footpath is treacherous in places, so care should be taken.The view from the platform was wonderful, the power of the fall really impressive at such short distance.

Great waterfall with ample parking! You can hike up to the first set of falls but not sure how to get higher.

Just by the road as you travel north. Theres free parking and a little picnic bench right before the falls. You can climb up close to the falls. Its also a good spot to fly your drone out.The double falls are easier to spot at the picnic bench than up close.

Even more beautiful from the other side of the water. Otherwise, you’ll be too close to see the entire waterfall. You can go all the way app to the first level to take a nice picture. There is a platform and a place very close by to park.

Well, we were there when there was almost no water so it was actually one of the most boring places :There is a hike up the waterfall but we decided not to go there. Also parking could be a little difficult if there are many tourists since it is just a wider road

Big waterfall woth two levels. Getting up to the first plateau is possible with some climbing, and the view from there is incredible. Leave a treasure behind the waterfall. Parking is easy and close.

One of the larger waterfalls on the Faroer Islands offering a nice photo opportunity. Its located right next to one of the larger roads, so is easy to reach.

In the middle of nowhere lies an awesome waterfall, coming directly from the middle of the sky. The green hills with the rich variety of wild flowers around it are beautiful, the water is super cold and the sheep nearby are cute and shy. Definitely worth the ride!

Very easy to get to, right on the road, beautiful waterfall near the sea, great views all around.Theres a pretty comfortable small walk you can take to get to a higher ground. Definitely worth to visit along the way.

Absolutely phenomenal waterfall on the Island of Streymoy. It‘s size can vary a lot dependent on rainfall and snow, that‘s why I only got to see it so small. The trails are not so well marked and it‘s easy to slip and fall, so wear propper hiking boots and take caution.

It was easy to miss along the road. There is a small layby just past the fall. It us possible to walk up to the top of the falls but the path was not so obvious. Maybe because it was spring time. Well worth a stop though.

You can climb to the top of the falls. The path to go up is about 150 meters north of the falls. Takes about an hour and is very steep at some points but definitely worth it !!!!

Cool place! There is a pull off close by that can fit a few cars, with a trail map. The trail is a bit hard to follow, and we didnt want to trample any grass, so we just hopped up to the falls and explored. Beautiful!

Beautiful multitiered waterfall just minutes from the main highway. The map at the small parking area shows a small trail but it is very difficult to find. Watch for mud and very wet grass. Friendly sheep are there to greet you.
