“The Waterfall You Can Walk Behind”

#hellohalloween Seljalandsfoss is one of Iceland’s most famous and photogenic waterfalls, known for its unique beauty and exciting viewpoint. Located along the South Coast, about two hours from Reykjavik, this waterfall drops about 60 meters from a cliff that once marked the edge of the ocean. What makes Seljalandsfoss special is that visitors can actually walk behind the waterfall through a small path in the cave-like space, feeling the mist and hearing the powerful rush of water up close. The view from behind the curtain of water is magical, especially at sunset when the golden light shines through the spray. In winter, the area can freeze into sparkling ice, adding a fairytale charm. Surrounded by lush green fields and nearby smaller waterfalls like Gljúfrabúi, Seljalandsfoss is a perfect stop for travelers exploring Iceland’s natural wonders—a place where you can truly step inside the beauty of nature.
