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!

Très jolie cascade.
Bon ok, ce n'est pas les chutes du Niagara, mais elles font quand même leur effet... Surtout que le cadre est très agréable ! :)

Encore un magnifique lieu mais très touristique... Les chutes sont très impressionnantes et font énormément de bruit ! Après une petite marche le long des gorges, on arrive à un point de vue mais n'oubliez pas les imperméables !
Ce ne sont pas les chutes que nous avons préféré, mais c'est un incontournable du pays (comme Geysir...) !

Cette chute est impressionnante de force et de débit, certes il y a de nombreuse cascades à découvrir en Islande avec beaucoup moins de touristes !!! Mais sur le chemin des geysers un petit stop de moins d'une heure est facile à caser dans votre emplois du temps

An incredible force lies in this waterfall. His name probably comes from the quasi-permanent rainbow created by the iroration of the bruises. Free access, follow trails
