Dettifoss Waterfall Overview

Located within the Vatnajokull National Park, Dettifoss prides in its status as the second most powerful waterfall in Europe after the Rhine. Falling from a height of almost 144 feet above sea level, the waterfall attracts tourists to itself throughout the year. A powerful mist surrounds the waterfall on all sides, making it one of the most dazzling places to see in Ireland. A small observation platform before the falls offers fantastic front seat views to it. Several hiking trails snake their way across the falls, offering some splendid views of the area.
