Gullfoss
Embedded Files
Today marks the first day of our Iceland Circumnavigation. Gullfoss is our last stop. Due to strong winds, we didn't stay long. Plus, due to jet lag, we arrived early in the morning, but our original schedule was midnight, making us very sleepy, so our timing wasn't very good.
Gullfoss, located in southern Iceland, is a popular attraction along the Golden Circle, alongside Strokkur Geysir and Bruarfoss Waterfall. The waterfall itself has an upper and lower section, 11 and 21 meters high, respectively, with a maximum flow rate of 2,000 m³/s. It's one of Iceland's three largest waterfalls and a must-see for many upon arrival.
Gullfoss is often considered one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world and is undoubtedly one of Iceland's most popular tourist attractions. Along with Thingvellir and Þingvellir National Park, it forms part of the famous Golden Circle route. Gullfoss is located in southern Iceland, north of Selfoss.
Gullfoss is truly spectacular. The rumble of the waterfall can be heard from afar, and plumes of water rise to the sky. Gullfoss is divided into two sections: the upper section is 11 meters high, and the lower section is 21 meters high. From the observation deck, you can see the upper section, which rises approximately 11 meters. The cascading water cascades down from this height, creating a truly spectacular sight up close. Turning back, the view is even more breathtaking. The sheer volume of water rushing downstream creates a massive splash, and walking along the adjacent trail will leave you soaked.
