The Gullfoss Falls are impressive. A built platform allows you to observe the waters of the Hvita river flowing into a gigantic fault. In summer, meltwater from the glaciers increases the flow and the river takes on a milky color. It is one of the most magnificent waterfalls in Iceland. It actually attracts a lot of tourists. The advantage is that you can take a bus from Reykjavik. Another advantage: you can transport your bike without having to disassemble it. The waterfall is ideally located on the F-35 or Kjölur road.
