where was the waterfall scene in stranger things filmed

The waterfall scene in Stranger Things (the Iceland epilogue-style sequence with Eleven and the dramatic twin falls) was filmed at Háifoss and the neighboring waterfall Granni in southern Iceland , near the volcano Hekla.

Quick Scoop

• The production used Háifoss “Twin Waterfalls” in Iceland for the scenic waterfall shots seen at the end of the series, showing Eleven walking through a remote landscape.

• Háifoss is located in the Þjórsárdalur valley in south Iceland , with the river Fossá dropping into a deep canyon and the smaller Granni waterfall right beside it.

• Fans identified the exact spot by matching the on-screen canyon, twin falls, and by noticing Iceland listed in the credits, then confirming it as Háifoss/Granni.

Little Location Details

• Region: Southern Iceland, inland from the south coast, not far (by Icelandic standards) from the volcano Hekla.

• Waterfalls:
  • Háifoss – one of Iceland’s higher waterfalls, plunging into a narrow canyon.

* Granni – a slightly smaller “neighbor” waterfall right next to Háifoss, which creates the twin-falls look used in the show.

Why This Spot Works On Screen

• The area is remote, dramatic, and windswept , which fits the idea of Eleven disappearing into a wild, far‑from‑Hawkins new life.

• The twin falls and canyon give the scene a mythic, almost fantasy-style feel, making the finale imagery stand out from the usual Georgia-based Hawkins locations.
