Oxararfoss is a waterfall located in Thingvellir National Park in southwestern Iceland. Fed by the Öxará river, it cascades approximately 32 meters into a canyon carved by tectonic activity. The site holds historical significance as the location of Iceland's first parliament in 930 CE. Visitors hike through the rift valley and view the falls while exploring the park's geological and cultural heritage.
Oxararfoss is located within Thingvellir National Park in southwestern Iceland, approximately 40 kilometres northeast of Reykjavik. The waterfall flows along the Oxara River inside a UNESCO World Heritage Site that straddles the boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. It forms part of the classic Golden Circle tourist route and sits adjacent to Logberg, the historic site of Iceland's Althing, the world's oldest parliament, established in 930 AD.
