Kolugljúfur Canyon
Park

Directions

Just a short detour off the main Ring Road, you'll discover the magnificent Kolugljúfur Canyon, a real local secret. The powerful Víðidalsá river carves through the gorge, creating a series of stunning waterfalls you can admire right from the bridge near the car park. For a closer look, you can follow the walking paths along the canyon's edge, which offer different perspectives of the cascading water. Be mindful as you explore, as some areas are unfenced, but the breathtaking views are well worth the visit.
