Seri Selang Waterfall on the Cliff

Seljalandsfoss waterfall is located in the southwest of Iceland and is one of the waterfalls with a relatively large drop in Reykjavik. Seljalandsfoss is located on the Seljalands River, about 30 kilometers west of Skogar, between the Skogafoss waterfall and the Seljalandsfoss waterfall. The vertical height is as high as 60 meters. Although the height is not as high as other waterfalls, the water flow of Seljalandsfoss is still relatively turbulent, making the color of the waterfall appear white, blending with the beautiful and unique scenery of Iceland, like a beautiful landscape oil painting. Because of this picturesque combination, Seljalandsfoss is beautiful all year round, especially during sunrise and sunset. When the orange, red, and yellow sunlight shines on the snow-white waterfall, a beautiful rainbow will appear, adding a fairy spirit to this stunning scene. Seljalandsfoss waterfall has another feature, which is like a water curtain cave. At the bottom of the cliff behind Seljalandsfoss waterfall, there is a small path for visitors to pass through. People can walk through the path to the back of the waterfall and enjoy the stunning view of the waterfall from 360 degrees. You need to wear a raincoat when walking behind the waterfall because you will get wet from the mist. Walking behind Seljalandsfoss waterfall in summer is a great thing to do, especially on sunny days when you can catch a rainbow. In winter, be careful of icy roads, rocks and ground are slippery. Friends who plan to visit Seljalandsfoss waterfall must pay attention to safety. Seljalandsfoss waterfall is not unfamiliar to photographers. The most famous photo is taken by drilling behind the waterfall. It is recommended to wear ice claws when taking photos of the waterfall in winter. You can drive from the capital Reykjavik along Highway 1 to the southeast to Seljalandsfoss River, then turn left into Highway 249. The parking lot requires a fee, and there is a self-service machine for card payment.
