Waterfall

Message from
Gunnar Freyr Gunnarsson

From the Ring Road you'll see the beautiful (and popular) high falls at Seljalandsfoss, which tumble over a rocky scarp into a deep, green pool. A (slippery) path runs around the back of the waterfall. A few hundred metres further down the Þórsmörk road, Gljúfurárbui gushes into a hidden canyon.

In the warmer months you may walk behind the waterfall - bring crampons if visiting in early or late winter.

Pay for parking.

Easy and quick walk to the falls but the path behind the falls can be narrow, slippery, and rocky.
