You Need To Put This Dazzling Icelandic Waterfall On Your Bucket List Right Now

If you’ve ever been to Iceland, you’ll know that most come here to see the Northern Lights and take a dip in the Blue Lagoon, which means both incredible experiences will be packed out with selfie-stick holding tourists, screaming children… and the odd despondent local. But guess what, if hot springs and dazzling cosmic lights aren’t your thing at all, we’ve got an awesome surprise for you, and it comes in the form of the mighty Seljalandsfoss waterfall. Here’s everything you need to know about it.

Located in the mystical southern regions of Iceland, the epic Seljalandsfoss waterfall is one of the most beautiful and bewitching natural wonders in western Europe…

The waterfall drops a staggering 60m and is part of the Seljalands River, which began life in the volcano glacier, Eyjafjallajökull…

And if you’re lucky, you’ll see the odd rainbow surrounding the place…

Best thing about the place? Instagrammers, Snapchatters and VSCO-nut jobs can photograph the flowing beauty from inside a small cave that’s hidden by the veil of mist created by the fall…

From every angle, the place is stunning…

It’s reached by a very slippery and rocky track that loops round the entire base of the roaring waterfall…

Once inside, you’ll see why the place was created for the heart emoji…

The very lovely waterfall can be reached by driving along Route 1, and is accessed via Þórsmörk F249.
