Seljalandsfoss Iceland

Seljalandsfoss Gljufrabui

Seljalandsfoss and Gljufrabui are two beautiful waterfalls located close to each other on the scenic South Coast of Iceland.

Most visitors to Iceland have the walk-behind Seljalandsfoss on their wish lists, but if you enjoy chasing waterfalls, you will definitely want to set aside time to view both Seljalandsfoss and Gljufrabui.

Seljalandsfoss and Gljufrabui are connected by a walking path, but you can also drive to each waterfall along Route 249, off the Ring Road. Seljalandsfoss has a parking fee, but there is no fee to park at Gljufrabui.

After you are done walking around Seljalandsfoss, you can walk over to Gljufrabui in just 10-12 minutes.

Gljufrabui, Iceland
Gljufrabui Waterfall is located in a canyon

Gljufrabui is called a “hidden waterfall” because it flows between tall canyon walls.

You can get a view of Gljufrabui from the viewing area outside the canyon, but if you want to see “the canyon dweller” waterfall in all its glory, you have to come prepared to walk through the stream into the opening between the canyon walls.

Doing the walk to Gljufrabui and back, plus time at Gljufrabui, will require an additional 30-45 minutes at the Seljalandsfoss stop, so keep that in mind if you are planning your South Coast itinerary.
