GULFOSS WATERFALL

One of the most popular waterfalls in south Iceland situated just 90 minutes drive from Reykjavik. Gullfoss waterfall is part of the Golden Circle and its access is for free same as both car parks. This waterfall is literary in the middle of nowhere. Besides the bistro and the souvenir shop, nothing else is around. You can enjoy the pure beauty of Iceland. This iconic waterfall (Gull = golden, Foss = waterfall) has 2 drops is 175 metres width and 32 metres high. All the water continues into the majestic canyon. You can enjoy the views from the viewing point above the waterfall or get closer right next to the waterfall. The second viewing point will leave you speechless while watching all the power. 

As this waterfall is very popular it also comes with a price especially during the main summer season when it's overcrowded. If your itinerary allows it's better to visit the waterfall in the evening in order to avoid masses of people.

Can you imagine how is it to live right next to this waterfall knowing you live in the middle of nowhere? I lived here for almost 5 months and I am not able to count how many times I have visited the waterfall. I was here during the day, sunset, sunrise, night and even when northern lights were visible. It is memories which will stay with me forever.
