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.

Although most tourists come to Húsavik on Skjálfanda Bay for the popular whale-watching tours, a visit to the wooden church, built in 1907, is still a must. The oldest piece in the church is the chandelier, dating from 1640. Other items, such as the altarpiece from 1931, are more recent.

Unfortunately, it is currently difficult to reach for people with reduced mobility, but a "ramp" is already being built from the parking lot to the viewing platform (as of August 2024) to make the waterfall accessible to wheelchair users, otherwise the earlier you get there, the emptier it is 😉

Many hikes can start from here.

This is a nice place for the chance to shoot a rainbow.

The river's source is the Vatnajökull Glacier and it flows into the Greenland Sea. The river flows over the Selfoss, Dettifoss, Hafragilsfoss and Réttarfoss waterfalls, the second of which is the most powerful waterfall in Europe. The Jökulsá á Fjöllum basin is the largest in Iceland, covering an area of approximately 7,380 square kilometers.
