Glúfrabúi

About half an hour drive from the Old Farmhouse is the well known waterfall Seljalandsfoss and that one can be seen from Road 1. Close by Seljalandsfoss is another waterfall a lot less known and well hidden. It is called Gljúfrabúi. The name means “ The dweller in the Gorge”. Not many knew about this waterfall until a few years ago and tourists are still visiting Seljalandsfoss without knowing or noticing this unique gem. Glúfrabui is 40 meters high, and falls down in a gorge or a cave with a hole at the top. The only entrance into the gorge is through a stream. It is possible to step through the stream on stones, but you better keep a good balance not to slip into the water. Best is to wear good waterproof boots and even wear a rain coat or a jacket for the dizzle which heavily comes from the waterfall. In the gorge is a big stone in front of the waterfall which is fun to climb up for the best view and have one or two photos shot of you.
