Seljalandsfoss waterfall
Iceland
https://youtu.be/ADTzNUz74gI
Seljalandsfoss waterfall is one of the most impressive
waterfalls in Iceland. In an area packed with phenomenal
sights—from glaciers to black sand beaches—it's up
there with the most thrilling. You'll see why for yourself
when you visit.
Explore this 1.2-mile out-and-back trail near Þórsmerkurvegur, Southern.
Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 35 min to
complete. This is a popular trail for birding, hiking, and running, but you
can still enjoy some solitude during quieter times of day.
The main reason is the fact that you can see it from behind (there is a deep depression in the
rock); this is what makes Seljalandsfoss so special and why the visit is unique and different from
other places in Iceland.

The waters flowing over the limestone and chalk have,
over thousands of years, deposited travertine barriers,
creating natural dams which in turn have created a series
of beautiful lakes, caves and waterfalls. These geological
processes continue today.
These beautiful lakes and the area surrounding them were declared a
national park back in April of 1949 when nature protection measures were
established. A modern road connection to Plitvice Lakes was constructed
in the 1960s, which led to a significant increase in visitors and traffic to the
national park
The extension of the dynamic, constantly evolving lake system, the proportion of the tufa
barriers, jointly with the numerous dynamic waterfalls and clear water courses and the
expression of colours, make Plitvice Lakes National Park an aesthetically outstanding natural
spectacle of global importance.
