Norðurþingのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Absolute must see.

In Jökulsárgljúfur National Park, the Jökulsá á Fjöllum River has created Iceland's longest river canyon, stretching over 25 km. There are several beautiful hiking trails through the park, starting at the Vesturdalur campsite. One tour leads to the red mountain cones of the Rauðhólar crater series, which offer excellent views over the canyon. Those who want to hike the three waterfalls of Jökulsárgljúfur can take the hiking trail above the canyon and pass the Hafragilsfoss, Dettifoss, and Selfoss waterfalls one after the other. With the establishment of Vatnajökull National Park in 2008, Jökulsárgljúfur National Park was incorporated into the larger park.

The Selfoss Waterfall is characteristically wider than it is tall, with a height of approximately 11 meters (36 feet) and a width of around 100 meters (330 feet). This impressive width creates a majestic waterfall, particularly impressive from the surrounding cliffs. The powerful flow of water and the mist it creates give the waterfall an enchanting atmosphere. This combination of vastness and mist makes Selfoss a photographer's paradise, offering numerous opportunities for impressive shots in a variety of lighting conditions.

With fantastic weather, Selfoss was once again beautiful. We were only surprised by how few visitors there were. We were thrilled.

The spray can make you wet.😄

We think the east side is the most beautiful. Recently, we were the only ones there. Simply beautiful.

Not suitable for everyone, but definitely worth the effort. Surefootedness and good shoes are a must.

A wonder of nature. Definitely worth a look!
