Langárfoss

Langárfoss is a small roadside waterfall where the main road crosses Langá River just outside the town of Borgarnes. The waterfall sits in peaceful surroundings of lush greenery and sharp zigzags in the bedrock. Though small by waterfall standards, Langárfoss drops 3 meters through protrusion of volcanic rock, splitting into several channels on the way. During winter months, the river freezes and stacks of icebergs fill the lake below and above the waterfall, giving us a mesmerizing scene.

Basecamp and facilities

There are several gravel roads that lead to the lake or the river where you could offload or have a small tech base. Further down the road 533 is a hotel that could house basecamps of various sizes.

Risk factors

The area around the waterfall is wet and slippery. The rocks are sharp and prone to sliding. The ice that forms on the lake during winter months is not thick enough to carry a person or equipment.

Visitors

Langárfoss is a low tourist attraction. There are some vacation homes and a hotel close by. Managing the location should not be a problem with additional staff.
