Gullfoss Falls, Blaskogabyggd

Must see · Waterfall · Nature / Park
Feel the mist from Gullfoss Falls, a stunning waterfall in southwest Iceland, as you walk right up close to the natural wonder. One of the most visited attractions in the country, the powerful falls plunge in two stages into a narrow crevice of the Hvita river. From afar, the 32 m (105 ft) deep crevice is hidden from sight, so when walking to the falls, you get the impression that the Hvita River just disappears into the ground. Hike along the crevice, which is 2.5 km (1.5 mi) long, and admire the incredible volume of water constantly rushing over the edge. The waterfall, along with Thingvellir and the geysers of Haukadalur, is part of the Golden Circle, which can make a great day tour.

    Huge waterfall with very impressive power that continuously keeps rushing down. As the water falls it splashes back up and the wind takes it so it looks like It is raining. Nice to go even closer and....  more »

    The first (of very many!) waterfalls we saw in our week tour of Iceland - and perhaps the most memorable. The sheer power of this waterfall is stunning. We've been to Niagara in the past and were...  more »

    One of the best place in Iceland! Very windy so you will need warm clothes.
