Seljalandsfoss

Visiting

The path starts beside the pool and runs on wet rock through the hollow behind the water. It comes out on the other side, where a staircase drops to a footbridge over the river. Wear a hooded waterproof and shoes you do not mind soaking, because the spray reaches the whole loop.

Follow the path north from the footbridge along the foot of the cliff, past a few smaller falls, to Gljúfrabúi. Only its top shows from outside, because a block of rock stands in front of it.

To see the whole of Gljúfrabúi, wade up the stream into the gorge. Take waterproof boots or go barefoot, and when the water is high, waterproof boots are the only dry way in. Inside it is soaking wet, and rocks can fall from the walls, so do not linger under them.
