Seljalandsfoss

Seljalandsfoss is a mesmerizing waterfall located in Iceland's Southern Region. It is one of the most famous and picturesque waterfalls in the country, characterized by its 60-meter (197-foot) drop and the unique feature of a cavern behind the falls that allows visitors to walk behind the cascading water.

The highlight of Seljalandsfoss is undoubtedly the experience of being able to view the waterfall from behind, providing a rare and thrilling perspective. The water plummets gracefully from the Seljalands River, which originates in the Eyjafjallajökull glacier, adding to its spectacular flow and beauty. The surrounding cliffs, often adorned with lush greenery in the summer, set a magical scene that captures the essence of Icelandic nature.

Located along the Ring Road (Route 1), Seljalandsfoss is easily accessible and sits approximately 120 kilometers (75 miles) from Reykjavik, making it a convenient stop for travelers exploring the South Coast. Its proximity to other attractions such as the Skógafoss waterfall, the black sand beaches of Reynisfjara, and the Dyrhólaey promontory ensures a wealth of natural wonders await visitors in this region.
