Sightseeing
Seljalandsfoss
ÞórsmerkurvegurA beautiful waterfall in the south.
Skógafoss
Gönguleið um FimmvörðuhálsA beautiful waterfall in the south.
Just a few minutes away from the more famous Seljalandsfoss there is a little-known gem named Gljúfrabúi. It is marked but to get inside (yes you get inside a waterfall) you have to walk on small stones or in water so boots and a rain coat would be a great idea.

Another less known waterfall near Seljarlandfoss and Gljúfrabúi. Some say this one is the most beautiful.
