Hidden Gems

Gljúfrabúi (The Hidden Waterfall)

waterfall

A secret waterfall hidden inside a narrow canyon, just 500m from Seljalandsfoss. Wade through a shallow stream into the cave to see the falls pour through the opening above. Magical!

5.0 km

“My secret favorite! Most tourists miss this one. Bring waterproof everything.”

Gluggafoss (Window Waterfall)

waterfall

A fascinating waterfall where water has carved tunnels through the rock, creating natural 'windows'. Much less crowded than Seljalandsfoss. A peaceful 20 min walk from parking.

12.0 km

“Beautiful and peaceful. You'll likely have it all to yourself!”

Drangurinn Rock

nature

A mysterious giant boulder sitting below the Eyjafjöll mountains. Legend says a farmer once lived on top of it. Strange, beautiful, and totally free to visit.

3.0 km

“Just 5 min drive! Look for the tiny house ruins on top. So quirky.”

LAVA Centre
