Gufufoss (Steam Falls)

The sources used for this guide (Visit Austurland and Vegagerðin) state no height for Gufufoss, so this guide gives none. Visit Austurland describes it as a waterfall in Seyðisfjörður (checked November 11, 2026).

Visit Austurland says the name Gufufoss is due to the steam emitted by the waterfall, which envelops it in a certain mystery (checked November 11, 2026).

The sources used state neither an entrance fee nor a parking charge for Gufufoss and describe no parking area, so this guide does not call it free. Visit Austurland says only that the road over Fjarðaheiði lies next to the waterfall and that access to it is very good (checked November 11, 2026).

The sources used give no visiting time for Gufufoss, so this guide gives none. Visit Austurland lists the separate Fossastígur walk from Seyðisfjörður at 2.5 and 4 hours for June to September (checked November 11, 2026).

The sources used name no best season for Gufufoss. A Vegagerðin report from April 2022 says the steep slopes on both sides of Fjarðarheiði are often a considerable obstacle, not least in winter, and Vegagerðin's watch stations update driving and road conditions on umferdin.is (checked November 11, 2026).

Visit Austurland says the road over Fjarðaheiði lies next to Gufufoss. A Vegagerðin report from April 2022 names travellers arriving on the Norræna among those for whom the steep slopes on both sides of the heath are an obstacle, not least in winter, and Vegagerðin's watch stations update driving and road conditions on umferdin.is (checked November 11, 2026).
