Introduction

Gullfoss, whose name means "Golden Falls", lies on Iceland's Golden Circle route and is one of the country's most famous and spectacular waterfalls. The rushing glacial river drops in two tiers: it first falls over one ledge, then plunges with a roar into a deep, narrow canyon, forming a majestic two-tier waterfall. The huge volume of water sends up vast clouds of mist and a thundering roar, and on sunny days brilliant rainbows often appear in the spray. Visitors can admire the magnificent scene up close from several viewing platforms and trails at different angles and heights. A vivid symbol of Iceland's raw natural power, Gullfoss is the heart and soul of the Golden Circle.
