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.
Here, the true force of Gullfoss, or Golden Fall, was much easier to appreciate. After all, I was looking at the most powerful waterfall of Europe. Here, I could also get a good view of the canyon in which the river Hvítá continues its way towards the Atlantic: a narrow, rocky crevice. Being a little disobedient, I crossed the rope of the path, allowing me to walk on the icy rock directly facing Gullfoss. Here, the rays of sunlight created bright rainbows over the frosty landscape of frozen fog, and I could not take my eyes off the sights unfolding in front of me, while I walked downstream. After a while, at last, I had a full view of Gullfoss, that hides its beauty inside its narrow ravine. But what beauty it is.
