Múlafossur Waterfall – Gásadalur, Faroe Islands

Múlafossur Waterfall is located in the village of Gásadalur. The village only became accessible by tunnel in 2004 and is famous for this 30-metre waterfall that drops straight into the ocean—like a white dragon plunging into the sea.

Next to the village, you’ll notice a small stream. It’s hard to imagine that this seemingly ordinary creek is actually part of the waterfall system flowing into the ocean.
