About this place
Added by Lucas Pols
Experience Iceland's largest waterfalls and a highlight on the golden circle adventure.
The infamous Gullfoss Falls are about 45 minutes from Strokkur, and they have a peaceful calm about them.
With the temperature never really going much above freezing during the winter you get these beautiful ice sculptures with water flowing through them.
Most definitely a worthwhile spot on any Icelandic adventure.

Powerful Falls
These falls were quite impressive, but also very accessible. If it is sunny you might be able to catch a rainbow!
