Tucked away behind a moss-covered cliff, just a short walk from the famous Seljalandsfoss, lies one of Iceland’s best-kept secrets—Gljúfrabúi (meaning “Canyon Dweller”). This enchanting waterfall cascades 40 meters into a secluded grotto, creating a magical, almost otherworldly scene. To reach it, you’ll have to step through a narrow opening in the rock and wade through a shallow stream—but trust us, it’s worth getting a little wet! The moment you step inside, you’ll be surrounded by mist, echoing water, and soft green moss, making it feel like you’ve stumbled into a fairytale. ✨ Pro Tip: Wear waterproof gear and visit early in the morning to enjoy the tranquility before the crowds arrive! 📍 Gljúfrabúi, Iceland #gljufrabui #iceland #waterfall
