#617 Fossá Waterfall

Fossá Waterfall, Streymoy Island, Faroe Islands

About this stone

This place is one of the tallest and most dramatic waterfalls in the Faroe Islands, tumbling down in two main cascades from a height of around 140 meters straight into the sea. Its name means "river with a waterfall," a fitting description for this powerful sight that is especially impressive after heavy rain when the flow is at its fullest. What makes it unique is that it isn't a single drop but a tiered waterfall, creating a breathtaking curtain of water visible from the road below.
