Gullfoss, meaning “Golden Falls,” is a testament to Iceland’s raw natural beauty. Here, the Hvítá river makes a dramatic two-tiered drop—first 11 meters, then 21 meters—into a deep canyon, creating a spectacle of mist and rainbows.   This waterfall is a highlight of the Golden Circle, a popular tourist route that also includes Þingvellir National Park and the Geysir geothermal area.  Gullfoss is a symbol of environmental preservation. In the early 20th century, plans to harness its power for electricity were met with strong opposition, leading to its protection and the preservation of its untamed beauty.  Whether you’re drawn by its history or its majestic beauty, Gullfoss offers an unforgettable glimpse into Iceland’s wild heart.  #Gullfoss #GoldenFalls #icelandnature #iceland
