Gullfoss Waterfall

Gullfoss Waterfall, also known as the “Golden Falls,” is one of Iceland’s most famous and breathtaking natural attractions, located on the iconic Golden Circle route. Situated in the canyon of the Hvítá River in southwest Iceland, Gullfoss is renowned for its power and beauty, drawing thousands of visitors each year.This impressive waterfall features two dramatic cascades—the first drops 11 meters (36 feet), followed by a second plunge of 21 meters (69 feet) into a rugged, narrow canyon.

Situated within the Golden Circle, this waterfall flows from the Öxará River and is surrounded by the dramatic Almannagjá gorge, where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet.

Located in the Rift Valley, this stunning park also offers a unique opportunity to see and walk between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates.
