Gljúfrafoss

Gljúfrafoss, also known as Gljúfrabúi, is a captivating waterfall hidden within a narrow canyon in Iceland's South Coast. This enchanting waterfall is part of the Seljalands River and is known for its intriguing location which offers a unique and somewhat secretive experience for visitors. The falls drop approximately 40 meters in a secluded, moss-covered gorge that adds to its mystical charm.

One of the key features of Gljúfrafoss is its relative obscurity and the magical ambiance created by the natural amphitheater it hides within. To fully appreciate the beauty of the waterfall, visitors need to step into a narrow opening between the cliffs, often resulting in a refreshing mist from the cascading water. The atmosphere inside the gorge is otherworldly, with light filtering through the narrow opening creating ethereal effects.

Gljúfrafoss is conveniently located just a short distance from the more famous Seljalandsfoss, making it easily accessible for those exploring Iceland's South Coast. This proximity allows for a remarkable two-in-one waterfall experience. Other nearby attractions include the stunning Skógafoss waterfall, the black sand beach of Reynisfjara, and the picturesque village of Vik.
