Seljalandsfoss Waterfall

Seljalandsfoss is one of Iceland’s most enchanting waterfalls, located along the southern coast, just off the Ring Road. What makes Seljalandsfoss truly unique is the pathway that allows visitors to walk behind the waterfall, offering a rare and thrilling perspective. The waterfall plunges 60 metres (197 feet) over a cliff that was once part of the coastline, creating a beautiful cascade that can be admired from all angles.

The experience of walking behind the curtain of water is both exhilarating and magical, as you get to see the landscape through a veil of mist and water. The surrounding area is equally picturesque, with lush green meadows and additional smaller waterfalls nearby, such as Gljúfrabúi, which is partially hidden within a canyon.

Seljalandsfoss is a popular stop on the Golden Circle and South Coast tours, and it’s particularly stunning at sunset when the light creates a golden glow around the falls. Whether you’re a photographer, nature lover, or just someone looking to experience one of Iceland’s natural wonders, Seljalandsfoss offers a memorable and immersive encounter with the island’s beauty.
