The Faxi (Icelandic pronunciation:[ˈfaksɪ]ⓘ, or Vatnsleysufoss[ˈvasːˌleiːsʏˌfɔsː]) waterfall is located on the Golden Circle, a popular tourist trail east of Reykjavik. The waterfall is located on the Tungufljót river.[1]
Faxi can be found around twelve kilometres from Geysir and Gullfoss, and eight kilometres from Skalholt, away from the main road on a gravel track which includes a picnic area and a small car park.
The waterfall is full of salmon and is a popular spot for fishing, and very close to the waterfall is a restaurant called Við Faxa.
