The Faxi (pronounced as /is/, or Vatnsleysufoss in Icelandic pronounced as /ˈvasːˌleiːsʏˌfɔsː/) waterfall is located on the Golden Circle, a popular tourist trail east of Reykjavik. The waterfall is located on the Tungufljót river.[1]

Faxi can be found around twelve kilometres from Geysir and Gullfoss, and eight kilometres from Skalholt, away from the main road on a gravel track which includes a picnic area and a small car park.

The waterfall is full of salmon and is a popular spot for fishing, and very close to the waterfall is a restaurant called Við Faxa.

Kayaking in the waterfall is forbidden.
