Onno-Óltifoss: What We Could Verify
We have not established a reliable location for the name Onno-Óltifoss. The previous version of this page assigned it a 12-meter height, a Skaftá-area location and a naming story involving a farmer. Our source check did not support those details, so we have removed them.
The name appears, but the place is not identified
A secondary list of Icelandic waterfalls includes the name without coordinates, a description or a local source. That mention is not enough to supply a route. We also checked the Visit South Iceland waterfall directory and did not find an entry establishing this identity.
This does not prove that no waterfall carries the name. If you have a map, a local place-name record or a photograph with a verifiable location, send us the source. We need evidence that connects the name to a specific place before restoring visitor directions.
Plan around an identified waterfall
The regional directory has entries for Systrafoss, Foss á Síðu and Ófærufoss. Use those named guides to compare the actual route and access requirements. They are alternatives to research, not proposed matches for Onno-Óltifoss; do not assume the similar-looking name Ófærufoss identifies the same place.

About this source check
Quick answers with safety notes where it matters.
Where is Onno-Óltifoss?
Our September 10, 2026 source check did not establish a verified location for this name. Do not use the former general Skaftá-area description as driving or hiking directions.
Does this mean the waterfall does not exist?
No. Limited search coverage cannot settle that question. We need an identifiable local record, map or authoritative place-name source before giving it a location or visitor directions.
