Wodospad Hjalparfoss, Hjálparvegur

Hjálparfoss (pol. Wodospad Pomocy) to wodospad na rzece Fossá w Þjórsárdalur w południowej Islandii. Wodospad jest dwuczęściowy i znajduje się w wąwozie otoczonym kolumnami bazaltu.

Wodospad Hjálparfoss jest popularnym miejscem turystycznym, zwłaszcza ze względu na swoją bliskość do innego wodospadu, Háifoss, który znajduje się około 2 km dalej.

Istnieje kilka legend dotyczących powstania wodospadu Hjálparfoss. Jedna z legend mówi, że wodospad został nazwany na cześć dwóch braci, którzy uratowali życie podróżnikowi, który wpadł do rzeki. Inna legenda mówi, że wodospad został nazwany na cześć kobiety, która pomogła podróżnikowi przeprawić się przez rzekę.

Wodospad Hjálparfoss jest dostępny przez cały rok, ale najlepiej jest odwiedzić go latem, kiedy pogoda jest bardziej sprzyjająca. Do wodospadu można dojechać samochodem lub autobusem z pobliskiego miasta Selfoss.

Filmy i seriale jakie powstały nad Haifoss

---

Wodospad Háifoss Þjórsárdalur na Islandii to jedno z miejsc, gdzie powstawały zdjęcia do filmu Greenland 2 : Migration. Ten sam surowy krajobraz wielu widzów rozpoznaje także w finale serialu Stranger Things 5. Ostatnia scena pokazuje Jedenastka – Eleven ( grana przez Millie Bobby Brown ) stojącą samotnie na klifie, pomiędzy potężnymi wodospadami Háafoss i Granni w Þjórsárdalur. Fani pytają: gdzie trafiła Eleven w finale Stranger Things 5 i gdzie kręcono finał Stranger Things 5? Wszystko wskazuje na to, że inspiracją była właśnie Islandia i okolice wodospadu Háifoss – jedno z najbardziej filmowych miejsc na wyspie.
Latem ubiegłego roku Millie Bobby Brown zwróciła uwagę fanów, publikując w mediach społecznościowych zdjęcia z islandzkimi nazwami w tle. Niedługo później potwierdzono, że aktorka przyleciała na Islandię razem z braćmi Duffer, twórcami serialu Stranger Things, by realizować tam zdjęcia do nowych scen.

Islandzki dziennik Morgunblaðið informował, powołując się na Islandzkie Centrum Filmowe, że produkcja serialu na Islandii kosztowała około 44 milionów koron islandzkich. Dziś wiadomo już dokładnie, gdzie powstawały te ujęcia — w dolinie Þjórsárdalur, w regionie Árnessýsla. Monumentalne wodospady Háifoss i Granni, otoczone surowym krajobrazem islandzkiego interioru, nadały finałowym scenom serialu epicki, niemal pozaziemski charakter.

Wodospad Granni

---

Wodospad Granni to wodospad w południowo-zachodniej Islandii, na rzece Fossá, dopływie rzeki Þjórsá. Wodospad ma wysokość 101 metrów, co czyni go siódmym pod względem wysokości wodospadem na Islandii. Nazwa wodospadu oznacza “sąsiad”. Wodospad powstał przez erozję rzeki Fossá, która płynie przez tereny wulkaniczne.

Wodospad Granni znajduje się w dolinie Fossárdalur, około 250 metrów w górę kanionu od wodospadu Háifoss.
