Seljalandsfoss: The Waterfall You Can Walk Behind!

#magicalxmastrip #seljalandsfoss #iceland Seljalandsfoss is one of Iceland’s most iconic and photogenic waterfalls, and it comes with a twist: You can actually walk behind it! Picture this—standing under a veil of water as it cascades down in front of you, with the mighty waterfall roaring just inches away. Talk about a bucket list moment! Located along the south coast of Iceland, Seljalandsfoss stands at 60 meters tall and is fed by the glacial river, Seljalandsa. While it’s already a spectacular sight from the front, the real magic happens when you follow a narrow path that leads behind the waterfall. You’ll get soaked, but it’s totally worth it for that one-of-a-kind experience and the unbeatable view of the surrounding landscape. Be prepared: the path behind the waterfall can be slippery, and during the winter months, it can be icy, so sturdy footwear is a must. But once you’re there, it’s hard not to feel like an adventurer braving the elements. The waterfall is also incredibly photogenic. Whether you’re capturing it from the front with the sun setting behind it or snapping a shot from the rear with the water pouring down in front of you, every angle is Instagram-worthy. Seljalandsfoss is a must-see stop on the famous Golden Circle route, and with its unique feature of walking behind it, it’s bound to leave you with unforgettable memories and amazing photos!
