Trip to Iceland Post #8: Kolugljufur Waterfall

We had a long day driving through Hvammstangi, Iceland and the peninsula. We ended the day by visiting the Koluglijufur Waterfall, a beautiful waterfall that is not nearly as packed with tourists as some of the waterfalls on the south coast of Iceland. Nothing against those waterfalls in the south. They are amazing too, but there is definitely a large crowd of tourists at those. Just a few people at this waterfall, making it much easier to walk around and good photo opportunities.

If you are in north Iceland, it would be a travesty to skip out on this waterfall. There are several paths down from the main road that allow you to get a closer look at the waterfall. As always, be very cautious. It is safe, but watch your feet and be smart about how close you get to the cliff edge. You will likely see some sheep resting, as we did! This was the perfect ending to a perfect day in Iceland. If you are into photography, this is a wonderful place to spend some time taking photos, both of the waterfall, and downriver.
