Gljúfrabúi is hidden in a narrow gorge near Seljalandsfoss and offers a unique and enchanting experience. Be sure to combine your visit to these two waterfalls into one, park your car at Seljalandsfoss and walk all the way to Gljúfrabúi, it’s a short walk, no more than 3 kilometres in total.
What makes it special is its secluded location and especially the fact that it is hidden and you can’t actually see it from the outside. To get to the waterfall, you’ll have to walk through a narrow space in the rock and wade through the flowing water – if there’s more water, it’s more for boots or high boots, if there’s not much water, you can walk over the rocks with dry feet. However, there may be so much water that you can’t even get in, then the problem is not the water flowing on the ground, but rather the water directly from the waterfall. Once inside, you will be rewarded with a view of the waterfall flowing down from the ceiling of the gorge. Be warned though, the wet rocks can be quite slippery, so be really careful where you go. There’s also a large rock to climb if there’s not much water.
Gljúfrabúi is definitely worth it, and not every tourist from Seljalandsfoss will make it there, so you may be lucky enough to be there all alone.
Park in the pay parking lot at Seljalandsfoss.
