Maybe the most beautiful waterfall ever 🗺️
#waterfall
Seljalandsfoss is hands-down one of the most beautiful waterfalls I've ever seen! 🌊 Located on Iceland's south coast, about a 2-hour drive from Reykjavik, this stunning 60-meter waterfall is a must-see if you're traveling around the island. The entrance fee is free, but there's a small parking fee of 800 ISK (around $6 USD), which is totally worth it considering the spectacular experience that awaits. 🚗
What sets Seljalandsfoss apart is that you can actually walk behind the waterfall, giving you a unique perspective of the cascading water with the beautiful Icelandic landscape in the background. The sound of the water crashing down was almost hypnotic, and the spray was refreshing—just make sure to bring a waterproof jacket, as you'll definitely get a bit wet! 🌧️ There's a well-marked path that leads you behind the falls, and the view from there is simply magical, especially when the sun is shining and creates rainbows in the mist. 🌈
Nearby, just a short walk along the same cliff face, you'll find Gljúfrabúi, a hidden gem of a waterfall tucked away inside a narrow canyon. To see it up close, you have to carefully step through a small stream, but the effort is so rewarding. It's a quieter, more intimate experience compared to Seljalandsfoss and feels like you're discovering a secret spot that not everyone knows about. 🌄
After exploring the falls, I recommend driving a bit further to visit Skógafoss, another breathtaking waterfall just 30 minutes away. You can climb the stairs to get a panoramic view of the waterfall and the coastline beyond. Also, nearby is the black sand beach of Reynisfjara, famous for its dramatic basalt columns and stunning sea views. 🖤
Seljalandsfoss and its surrounding attractions were the highlight of my Iceland trip, offering a perfect mix of adventure, nature, and photo opportunities. If you're planning to visit Iceland, make sure to put this on your list! #trip #Seljalandsfoss #IcelandAdventures #BehindTheFalls #GljúfrabúiWaterfall #SouthCoastIceland
