A golden waterfall, the most famous in Iceland, pouring hundreds of tons of muddy water a few meters high

Gullfoss, the "Golden Waterfall", is Iceland's most famous waterfall. It pours hundreds of tons of muddy water 32 m high over the Hvítá, a river that rises from the Langjökull ice cap, a white mass that can be seen in the distance from Gullfoss. You'll also find a stele in honour of Sigridur Tomasdottir, daughter of the landowner who, at the turn of the century, threatened to throw herself into the waterfall if the hydroelectric plant project was not abandoned. She succeeded, and the site is still preserved today!

Lever soleil
A voir au lever ou au coucher de soleil, en dehors de la cohue des touristes.

Magnifique et fracassant
Au fur et à mesure qu'on s'approche de la alaise surplombant Gullfoss on entend le fracas de la chute. Sa découverte est époustouflante et merveilleurse ! A ne pas rater !

Un cascade magnifique qui se déverse dans un gorge... Non loin de Geysir, cette cascade mérite une visite. Beaucoup de visiteurs, ce qui ne facilite pas les photos. Une petite halte se mérite au restaurant non loin.

Très belles chutes ! La forme, le débit de l'eau, et le canyon où elles se jettent, rendent la visite incontournable.
Accès facile mais prévoir de la marche (45 minutes A/R) pour s'y rendre et aller au bord de l'eau et apprécier toute la beauté du site.
