Goðafoss is one of Iceland's real treasures and one of Iceland's largest waterfalls. It is fed by the River Skjálfandafljót, which flows through a 7,000-year-old lava field from Trölladyngja volcano, troll means troll in German, so the area definitely has some mystery and is inspiration for many legends.
The waterfall flows over 30 meters wide horseshoe-shaped cliffs and is divided in the middle by rocks. One part is about 9 meters and the second 17 meters high. When the water is high enough, there are often other waterfalls that make this place even more magical.

Most tourists run straight to the - certainly a little nicer - southeast side. But you can also start on the quieter north-west side and then walk over the small bridge!
