A waterfall in East Iceland. One of many cascades that make Iceland a waterfall paradise.
Quieter than the famous falls. More intimate. The kind of place where you can actually hear yourself think.

Gufufoss
If there's a path, stick to it. The terrain around waterfalls is slippery and the moss is fragile. Iceland appreciates visitors who respect the land.

Walking behind a 60-meter waterfall is something you don't forget. We went at sunset and the light through the curtain was absolutely magical. Bring proper rain gear — you WILL get soaked through. The path is well-maintained but rocky.
Best light at sunrise before the tour buses arrive. The path behind is slippery in winter but doable with spikes. Don't skip Gljúfrabúi next door — most tourists walk right past it, but it's a hidden waterfall inside a cave. Spectacular.
Stopped here on a Ring Road trip in early January. The path behind the waterfall was closed due to ice — check conditions before you go if walking behind is the main reason. Still stunning from the front though.
