Hidden waterfall in Iceland

Waterfall

Message from

This waterfall is right next to Seljalandsfoss and is kind of a hidden waterfall that people are only starting to visit. Its name means "dweller in the gorge". It's worth the time if you have it. Getting there means walking through a pretty small canyon, and the spray from the waterfall is pretty strong, so make sure you have a dry change of clothes in the car if you visit. Be prepared to get wet.

How to find it: Make the turn inwards towards Seljalandsfoss. Now drive past the crowds at Seljalandsfoss and park at the next parking lot, where the campground is, it should be marked Gljúfrabúi.

Parking at Gljúfrabúi is free but finding a spot can often be a bit tricky. Be sure to park in marked areas so that other cars can easily pass you.

GPS coordinates of Gljufrabui: 63.6209° N, 19.9864° W
