A must-see at Iceland's Gullfoss Waterfall

Gullfoss, Iceland 🌷🌷 📍A stunning spot: Located in the Hvita River Canyon, approximately 125 kilometers northeast of Reykjavik, Iceland's capital, Gullfoss is Iceland's largest waterfall! 🌈Gullfoss Basics: ➡️ The waterfall is 2,500 meters wide, with a total drop of 32 meters! ➡️ It has two tiers: the upper tier is 11 meters, and the lower tier is 21 meters. ➡️ Best time to view: During sunny summer days. ✨Stunning Views: As the rushing waters cascade down, the sunlight illuminates the entire waterfall, creating a dazzling glow.✨ Glittering golden droplets can be seen in the mist, and rainbows are often visible.🌈 It's truly breathtaking! It truly lives up to the name "Golden Falls"! 🌊Water Source Secret: The waterfall is fed by meltwater from Langjökull 💧 Special minerals give the water its unique color. The 70-meter-high canyon walls formed during the last ice age. 🤩Legendary Story: In the early 20th century, British businessmen wanted to build a hydroelectric power station here. Icelandic resident Sigrid, a remarkably resilient Icelander, protested for years. Finally, in 1929, she won the lawsuit and protected this magical wonderland. In 1975, it became a national nature reserve. 💡Travel Tips: Remember to wear waterproof clothing; the mist is intense! For photos, it's best to stand on the viewing platform. The best time to take photos is between noon and 3:00 PM. In winter, you can even see the waterfall frozen over! A must-do! 📸
