Gljufrabui, Seljalandsfoss, Seljavallalaug, Skogafoss
Waterfalls, hotpots, and midnight escapades to the top of waterfalls.
We woke up this morning with four waterfalls outside of our window. Icelandic weather rocked our van & hail tapped on our roof so much that we didn’t get much sleep. We decided to split today’s itinerary into two days, which allowed us to camp at Skogafoss waterfall tonight.
Gljufrabui – This is the waterfall inside the cave! Most people park at Seljalandsfoss and don’t walk over to this “hidden” waterfall. We made the trek into the cave and were rewarded by a shower. Too bad we didn’t bring our soap!
Seljalandsfoss – one of the most famous waterfalls in Iceland. Adventurers who don’t mind getting wet can walk behind the falls to see the moss and experience a waterfall from the inside-out.
You had to be willing to get a little wet and balance yourself on little stones that made a path, or else you’d step into 4-5 inches of a flowing water stream!
We took advantage of the spectacular view to get some glamour shots!
Because every girl needs the perfect Instagram photo…and well, these photos will also work for Bumble. LOL!
Seljavallalaug – Iceland’s oldest man made swimming pool. After a brisk walk in the pouring rain / hail we arrived to find that the hot-pot was more like a warm-pot. Jarred & Alex from Wisconsin (originally) convinced us it was still worth it and we braved the elements.
Karina had convinced me to take this trek by promising there would be a nice warm bath at the end (#winning!). To our surprise, it was lukewarm and filled with moss and algae (ewwww!). We jumped in anyways because who knows when we’d get the opportunity again.
Skogafoss – Camping tonight is at the foot of another amazing waterfall. ” Night ” at this time of the year is about four hours of twilight. We took the opportunity to visit the falls at midnight without the hordes of tourists.
