What makes Fagrifoss particularly attractive is its smooth brink and the segmented plunge in which its lower end slants, giving the falling water at its base a beautiful fan shape. Only adding to the falls beauty is its contrast with the raw landscapes in which it is nestled.
To reach the Fagrifoss, travellers must cross a small river and a 4x4 vehicle is needed for the crossing.
