Gullfoss (translated to 'Golden Falls') is one of Iceland's most iconic and beloved waterfalls, found in the Hvítá river canyon in Southwest Iceland. Visitors can experience the natural beauty and raw power of this incredible site, with cascading water dropping 32 meters (105 feet) down the waterfall's two breathtaking stages. In the summer, around 140 cubic meters (459 cubic feet) of water surges down the falls, making for a dramatic display. Gullfoss is included on the popular Golden Circle sightseeing route, and adventurers can even add on activities such as glacier snowmobiling and exploring amazing ice tunnels. History buffs will appreciate the heroic story of Sigríður Tómasdóttir, whose stubborn determination stopped foreign investors from harnessing Gullfoss' energy. Visitors seeking refreshment can stop in at Gullfoss Cafe, where they can enjoy the views with a hot meal or traditional Icelandic souvenirs. With so much to explore, Gullfoss waterfall is an amazing destination that is not to be missed.
