Seljalandsfoss

"Icelandic is a hard--very hard--language to start to learn. There are a few words you'll pick up quite quickly as you start to drive around the country, though. Foss is one of the important ones. It's the word for waterfall--and there are a lot of fossar (the plural!) in South Iceland. Seljalandsfoss is one of the most-famous ones. The water from Seljalandsfoss originates from Eyjafjallajökull, a glacier-covered volcano. If that name sounds vaguely familiar, it's because the volcano disrupted air travel all over Europe when it erupted in 2010. Anyway, the melting glacier runs into the Seljalands, a river that flows toward Iceland's south coast and eventually the Atlantic Ocean. Some of that glacier water tumbles 200 feet down Seljalandsfoss on its way. Seljalandsfoss can be seen from the Ring Road. You technically don't even have to stop to see this waterfall. But everyone and every bus does. The crowd can be overwhelming, so plan to stop during an off-time, if possible. Rainbow sightings are also not uncommon. Notes: -You can walk behind Seljalandsfoss during the summer. Do it! The trail is closes because it's slippery with ice during the winter. -You must pay for parking to visit this waterfall. After finding an empty spot, use your credit card at the machine and then put the ticket in your windshield."

"4. Stop Seljalandsfoss waterfall + Gljufrabui (hidden gem) – you will definitely need waterproof clothes and shoes for this trip, because you will definitely not stay dry for the full experience of these two waterfalls - Parking at the Seljalandsfoss waterfall costs 800 ISK = approx. 5.50 euros - Seljalandsfoss is already visible from the road, while Gljufrabui is hidden and many visitors do not know about it, which is a huge shame for them, but not for you, since there will be much less photo-hungry visitors - Seljalandsfoss is a beautiful waterfall that you can go behind to (only during the summer months) and we highly recommend it, it's really beautiful (here's the moment when you get wet and beware it's slippery!) - if you visit the waterfall in winter, don't be sad, although you can't get around it, it's beautiful and illuminated in the dark - in this place we also experienced the most beautiful sunset (which is of course not possible during polar day or night) - 150 meters from this waterfall there is a 40-meter waterfall hidden in a gorge, which you can reach by crossing the river (following stones) - it is one of the most memorable and beautiful waterfalls in Iceland due to its unique appearance - a waterfall falling from the green hills of the Eyjafjöll mountain range into a gorge"

"Seljalandsfoss is yet another waterfall located on the South Coast, but what makes this unique is that it's the one waterfall you can walk behind! The waterfall drops approximately 60 meters from the cliffs above, creating a mesmerizing curtain of water that plunges into a serene pool below. There are other smaller waterfalls along the pathway, but I'd recommend walking all the way down the path because there you'll find waterfall behind some rock formations! If you're feeling adventurous, you can walk into the rocks to catch another beautiful waterfall! "
