17 Tungufljót River Rapids on Golden Circle, Iceland

About five miles before reaching Gullfoss is a bridge spanning these rapids. This is the Tungufljót River. This 18.5 mile waterway is popular among fly fishermen for producing salmon and large sea trout that can weigh 15 up to 20 pounds. If you have time, it is worth taking a detour about 7.5 miles from Geysir on 35 to see the Faxi. The waterfall is 262 feet across and cascades 23 feet over a rocky ledge. It is also called Vatnsleysufoss. This means the waterfall with no water yet this seems to be a misnomer.
