# Onno-Óltifoss: What We Could Verify

Updated September 10, 2026 · [Published by Iceland.org](<https://www.iceland.org/about-us>) · [Writing & review](<https://www.iceland.org/editorial-policy#credits>)

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](<https://www.wedreamoftravel.com/iceland-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](<https://www.south.is/en/destinations/nature/waterfalls>) 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](<https://www.iceland.org/contact>). 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](<https://www.iceland.org/waterfall/systrafoss>), [Foss á Síðu](<https://www.iceland.org/waterfall/foss-a-sidu>) and [Ófærufoss](<https://www.iceland.org/waterfall/ofaerufoss>). 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.
