About Gullfoss
Gullfoss drops in two dramatic stages into a deep ravine, throwing up rainbows on sunny days and freezing into icy sculptures in winter. The final and most powerful stop on the Golden Circle, it's one of Iceland's most beloved waterfalls.
When to visit
Roaring with glacial meltwater in summer; partly frozen and otherworldly in winter.
