The Golden Falls (Gullfoss) is located 125 kilometers northeast of Reykjavik, Iceland. It is 2,500 meters wide and 70 meters high. It is the largest fault canyon waterfall in Iceland. The Ta River forms two waterfalls here. The river below becomes narrower to rapids. After watching the Gaiser Geyser, it will be just right. The Golden Falls was the first waterfall I saw on this trip in Iceland and the week after that I would see almost every day like the church square in Central and Eastern Europe until the aesthetic fatigue said back to the Golden Falls. Under Icelandic law, the land is privately owned, so this waterfall originally belongs to a private attraction haha Does it sound a little strange? In 1975, the owner of the farm gave it to the Icelandic government as a natural reserve, and we have the freedom of access today. This waterfall is not the largest, but the water flow is abundant, and the geographical space is very large. The wind is particularly large. The splash is filled with water. You can feel it far away, so it still has some impact when taking pictures.
Iceland has the largest waterfalls and natural hot springs in the world, and it seems that waterfalls of varying sizes and shapes can be seen anywhere. The golden waterfall was very spectacular, and it slipped to a river below. The tour guide said that the river could drink. I drank a few mouthfuls curiously and it was really sweet. [View] Very beautiful. [Fun] Very interesting. [Cost-effective] High.
The Golden Falls of Iceland is a favorite of Icelanders and one of the famous waterfalls in Europe. The Golden Falls are located 123 kilometers northeast of Reykjavik City, about 10 kilometers away from the geyser. The water droplets splashed from the pouring waterfall fill the sky, forming a rainbow under the sun, as if the whole waterfall was forged with gold, and the scene was magnificent. Tourists linger. The Golden Falls are Iceland's largest fault canyon waterfall. The waterfalls leak from the top and fall into the deep canyon, and finally slowly flow into the sea. The Golden Falls are shocking and fully feel the shocking momentum. The Ta River forms two waterfalls above and below, and the river below narrows to a rapids.
Gullfoss is one of the famous attractions of Golden Circle and it is definitely worth to visit one in your life !
Some people say that the scenery in many pictures is beautiful by the late stage. Others say that there is a big gap between the pictures in the camera and the actual scenery. I can't say that all the scenery is the same. But at least I think Iceland's Falls are really beautiful. Not only do I want to paint, but I also feel that the effect of any photo software is not as good as his scenery. Visiting Iceland and seeing waterfalls is not a strange sight, but I feel that the Facial Falls is one of the most beautiful waterfalls. People don't want to leave. It's the most suitable way to come here to play with groups and drive by themselves. Other ways will be difficult. If you are not sure about your driving skills in foreign countries, I suggest you take a group tour. Don't worry about missing out on the scenic spot. This scenic spot is quite famous in the local area, and it's one of the top places on the list of must-play. So it will be arranged to form. The tour guide will also tell relevant stories about the scenic spot, listen to the stories and watch the beautiful scenery, just like in fairyland on earth. The two-level differentiation of hotels around the scenic spot is quite serious. Otherwise, the hotel is about 300 yuan, but the conditions are relatively simple. There is also a hotel with at least 1,000 yuan or more. Of course, the conditions are not to be said in all respects. So the free travelers can consider the location of the hotel. If there is a car, the cost-effectiveness ratio will be higher if they live a little farther away from the scenic spot. 。 Although I have seen many waterfalls before, I feel that the waterfall is very spectacular and magnificent. It is a good scene in the waterfall. I can't understand the real scene just by looking at the pictures and listening to my friends. So I recommend you to visit.
Golden Falls gulfoss is Iceland's second largest waterfall, a famous attraction in the Golden Circle, and the sight of rough water flowing from the upper layers is breathtaking. Visitors can enjoy the magnificent waterfall from the upper reaches of the waterfall and feel the shock of the sound of the waterfall. The scene of the white fog and mist of the day brought half a mystery to this waterfall, but unimpeded its spread charm, standing on a high platform overlooking the entire gulfoss, instantly able to feel his majesty, feel the smallness of human beings. In the dark, it has been baptized for tens of millions of years, and it has accidentally formed one of the magnificent images of this world. It is a coincidence and a lucky place to be in Iceland.
