Fjaðrárgljúfur canyon in South Iceland is a stunning natural wonder with a unique serpent-like shape. Made famous by Justin Bieber's music video, the canyon saw a surge in visitors, prompting closures to allow nature to recover. With its majestic cliffs, picturesque waterfalls, and rich history, Fjaðrárgljúfur offers a breathtaking experience for those who venture to this hidden gem in Iceland's landscape.

Advice from us: the weather here can shift quickly so the paths can be slippery. Good footwear is essential. Parking is free and also right near the trail head. The hike itself is relatively easy, taking about 30-40 minutes round-trip. TOP SPOT to see!
