Gullfoss

Gulfoss is a waterfall in Iceland. It is part of the Golden Circle tour, which is a popular tour that many tourists take. The Golden Circle shows you the national park Þingvellir, the waterfall Gullfoss (meaning "golden falls"), and the geothermally active valley of Haukadalur, which contains the geysers (erupting hot-springs). In Icelandic, 'Gul' means 'Gold' or 'Golden' and 'Foss' translates into 'Fall'.

A great spot to witness the pure power of this magnificent waterfall. Free wifi at the cafe on the hill. Be sure to wear warm sturdy boots going up those steps though! Enjoy

It's just absolutely stunning - pure fantasy adventure, implausibly constructed, amazing place. I went on a pretty grey day and stuff felt overwhemed by its size. 100% worthwhile.

Amazing waterfalls. Be careful in winter as the paths can be sure slippy especially when there's rain or a thaw after the snow.

Hunt the rainbow, get the lamb soup, and then spend some time to watch people ignore the road closed sign. http://grapevine.is/news/2016/03/06/dangerous-tourist-behavior-at-gullfoss/

I had goose bumps approaching the magnificent golden waterfall. Majestic, overwhelming, and utterly beautiful. Mother Nature at her best. Do not miss it.
