Throughout the course of the name giving river Fossá (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈfɔsːˌauː], "waterfall river"), as the name says, there are many waterfalls, the most visited of which lies beside the Route 47. Car parking is provided next to the main road.
There are some other rivers by the name of Fossá in Iceland, not far from it (Fossá (Kjós)), but also in other parts of the country, p.ex. in the Eastern Region (Austurland) near the fjord Berufjörður in East Iceland (Fossá (Berufjörður)).
