Just a stone's throw from the Ring Road, you'll find a place where the earth splits open to reveal the raw power of Icelandic nature. Kolugljúfur Canyon is a breathtaking gorge where the Víðidalsá River thunders through, creating the magnificent Kolufossar waterfalls. The main viewing area is just a few minutes' walk from the car park, offering an immediate, stunning panorama of the falls plunging into the deep, rugged canyon below. For the more adventurous, trails wind along the canyon's edge, providing different perspectives of this dramatic landscape, though you'll want to tread carefully as there are very few guardrails.
