I found this waterfall by pure chance, and what I then saw was an example there still exist places on this planet that will take your breath away. I believe that the public shouldn't be allowed here because it feels magical in the sense that there is nothing like it on the planet. The masses tend to go to seljalandsfoss but they don't know what they are missing (especially since it's only a 10min walk away) all I'm gonna say is that you will need to walk inside the river up through a canyon approx 20-30mtrs before you get presented with the biggest surprise of your lives. This angelic waterfall falls from the ceiling above you. I can honestly say hand on heart, that of how you don't visit this place you're a fool. At the same time it's better for me so next time I visit, it shall remain less touched/visited by the public. Which is fine by me! If you do go you will need, waterproof footwear at least and depending on how close to the fall you wanna go, a rain jacket too. You guys can thank me later. Your welcome

4. Golden Circle Route

Ideal for short-stay visitors, this scenic driving route through southwestern Iceland features excellent scenery and major sites.

The Golden Circle is a very popular driving route that takes you through Thingvellir National Park, where you can visit waterfalls, numerous fissures, and walk on land or dive in water in the rift between tectonic plates. After you drive through the park, you can continue on the Golden Circle drive to the Geysir Geothermal area, where you can walk around an area of active geysers and other geothermal features, and then drive a bit further to the huge Gullfoss Waterfall. There are numerous tour busses that do the Golden Circle. We drove it on our own on September 13, 2019 on our Ring Road drive around Iceland. Plan on a whole day for this drive. I have written separate, more detailed reviews for Thingvellir Nat Park, Geysir, and Gullfoss.

Incredible and spectacular waterfalls near the main road 1. Easy to get there, beautiful waterfall and the most amazing part is that you can walk right behind the waterfall. You can go around the waterfall, but be careful about slippery rocks and also be sure you're prepared. Some raincoat is an good idea, otherwise, you'll probably end up more or less wet from head to toes. The most interesting part of this waterfall is you can go behind the waterfall and see the falling water from there. If you are lucky enough, you'll get to see the rainbow. No trip along Iceland’s southern coast is complete without stopping at at least one of the stunning waterfalls that can be found right off the side of the road. Skogafoss and Seljalandsfoss are two of the most popular falls in all of Iceland This gorgeous waterfall is definitely impressive.

We echo the superlatives written about these falls in other posts. Stunning. And, if you walk up close, excitingly loud and wet. We did walk up the steep steps to the top and marveled at the views of the roaring stream feeding the falls, the lush green hills, the sheep grazing on the steep slope, and the distant views of the coast.
