Hjálparfoss is a beautiful, two stepped waterfall near the confluence of rivers Þjórsá and Fossá in the Þjórsa Valley. The surrounding area is called Hjálp, “Help”, because the travellers across the Sprengisandur Route found great help in reaching a vegetated area to graze their horses, after a long journey in the barren interior.
As elsewhere in the valley, the signs of the eruptions of Hekla are very prominent by the waterfall, ashes everywhere.
