"Múlagljúfur Canyon, sometimes referred to as Mulagljufur or Múli Canyon, is a hidden gem tucked away in southern Iceland . This dramatic canyon, carved by glacial runoff over millennia, boasts towering cliffs, a cascading waterfall, and a unique serpentine path.
Múlagljúfur Canyon remained relatively unknown for years, a secret cherished by a few. In recent times, however, its fame has begun to spread, attracting travelers seeking off-the-beaten-path adventures. The canyon's remoteness adds to its allure, offering a chance to experience the raw beauty of Icelandic nature in a less crowded setting.
The story of Múlagljúfur Canyon began around 9,000 years ago when an ice cap blanketed the area. Meltwater from this ancient ice relentlessly carved its way through the soft rock, creating the dramatic cliffs and the sinuous path of the Múlagljúfur River that flows through the canyon floor today."

"❗️EVA'S TIP: this is one of the places that has impressed me the most in Iceland!
If you enjoy heights and adrenaline like I do, (very) carefully look down when standing in the edge of the canyon. There are a lot of spots for taking amazing pictures and drone shots, while standing on the edge. You should also hike to the highest view point for even better views!"

"It's not every day you get to explore a place as breathtaking as Múlagljúfur Canyon. Just like the towns we've left this morning - Vik, with populations barely scratching the 800 mark, this canyon holds a charm that's hard to quantify. The geological architecture and the sheer magnitude of nature's artistry is something out of this world."
