Our opinion:<\/h3>\n\n<p>Kirkjufell is well worth a visit in winter. The mountain&#8217;s unique shape becomes even more striking when covered in snow, and the partially frozen Kirkjufellsfoss waterfalls create a fairytale scene. The river is also partially frozen and snow-covered, with its pastel or intense blues.<\/p>\n\n<p>It&#8217;s one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/iceland-lovers.com\/en\/things-to-do-snaefellsnes-winter-attractions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">must-see attractions on the Snaefellsnes peninsula<\/a> and one

These natural sculptures are fascinating.<br\/>You can get close, but be careful. With the snow, it&#8217;s hard to tell the difference between the ground and the river.<br\/>We saw someone fall into the river because he was so focused on his camera!<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lower_cascade\"><\/span>Lower cascade<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Iceland\/Winter\/Snaefellsnes\/Kirkjufell\/i-sJxbqjW\/1\/mhH85gtsrjDnxgSdW5dVCwRdCWLDXTp5hnqwPZmH\/L\/Kirkjufell_Iceland-4179-L.jpg\" alt=\"Lower cascade\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p>Ice sculptures also form on the lower cascade, but the water continues to flow between them.<br\/>It is less impressive than the upper part. However, when we were there, the blue colors of the river were bewitching. The color depends on the amount of ice that has formed.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"View_from_the_road\"><\/span>View from the road<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Iceland\/Winter\/Snaefellsnes\/Kirkjufell\/i-tD4GwV3\/1\/CV3stcGJLLh3ZHt8d72wdNwFcdn3Pp8TBD8fBZm6g\/L\/Kirkjufell_Iceland-4825-L.jpg\" alt=\"Waterfall and Helgrindur\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p>You can also go down the path on the other side of the bridge.<br\/>You can admire the upper cascade from a different perspective.
