GET TO KNOW THE PLACE

A different side of Iceland.

Seljalandsfoss is one of the South Coast’s best-known waterfalls. Water drops over a green cliff, and a path around the falls offers the chance to see it from behind the cascade.

Just a short drive from Eyvindarholt, it makes an easy addition to a day along Route 1. Take time for the different viewpoints, then continue on foot to nearby Gljúfrabúi.

A little planning goes a long way.

Bring a waterproof layer

The spray is part of the experience, especially on the path behind the water.

Take the paths slowly

Wet ground can be slippery. Follow signs and use the viewpoints that are open when you visit.
