The most powerful waterfall in Europe, Gullfoss is one of the iconic natural wonders of Iceland, easily visited on a day trip from the capital Reykjavik, and definitely worth the ride.
Fortunately, there are some trails you can walk to get a different look on Gullfoss. One takes you a little upstream, which allows for a closer look on the first cascade, as well as a better look into the crevice. Since the wall of the crevice is directly opposite the final fall of Gullfoss, the spray of the water is forced up into the sky, high above the course of the river itself. As it was freezing, there were isolated patches of ice wherever this spray finally fell back to the earth. After soaking in the view from high above, I descended towards a point just above the final fall. The late afternoon sun shining right through the water curtain drawn by Gullfoss was spectacular.
