A waterfall in that famous salmon river "Laxá í Kjós". This waterfall was used as a location for a scene in "Game of Thrones".
When visiting the Golden Circle, Gullfoss Waterfall is stealing the show, overshadowing other waterfalls in the area. But you don’t want to miss Þórufoss no matter the small detour on your way to Þingvellir National Park. Here the headwaters of the 25-kilometer Laxá í Kjós River, renowned for its population of Atlantic salmon, cascade down into the Mosfellsdalur Valley, revealing this beautiful 18-meter high waterfall to our eyes. These same falls stay frozen most of the winter. Þórufoss made an appearance in HBO’s series Game of Thrones, in Season 4, as the home of the Children of the Forest. A beautiful waterfall located in a pleasant and peaceful landscape to start the day.
