A gigantic waterfall that falls twice, Iceland's Golden Falls

#EuropeTravel Gullfoss, meaning "Golden Falls" in Icelandic, is one of the most magnificent natural attractions along the Golden Circle route. Flowing from Langjökull Glacier, the massive water cascades into two tiers, plunging 32 meters into a deep gorge. The spectacle and spray, illuminated by sunlight, create a golden rainbow, creating a truly spectacular sight. 🤍 Features - Two-tiered structure: The upper waterfall (11 meters) and the lower waterfall (21 meters) connect in succession, creating a tremendous drop. - Power of the water: During the summer, the waterfall boasts a staggering force, with up to 140 cubic meters of water falling per second. - Mythological background: Legend has it that a young girl sacrificed her life to protect the waterfall, adding to its mystique. 🤍 Things to do - Viewing platform: Enjoy the waterfall from above or get up close and experience the majestic force of the water. - Rainbow Point: On clear days, a rainbow appears over the waterfall, making it a popular photo spot. - Winter Spectacular: Even in the freezing winter months, the water never stops flowing, creating a breathtaking scene amidst the snow and ice. 🩵 Travel Tips - Location: Approximately 120km from Reykjavik, a 2-hour drive - Admission: Free (parking lot and visitor center available) - Travel Tips: 4-wheel drive vehicles are recommended due to frequent icy roads in winter. - Recommended Season: Summer offers rainbows, and winter offers a unique perspective of the waterfall, complete with ice and snow. 🤍 Nearby Attractions (Golden Circle Course) - Geysir Geyser Field: A water show erupting every five minutes - Þingvellir National Park: A tectonic wonder where plate tectonics split apart - Kerið Crater Lake: The contrast between red volcanic rock and blue water
