Next, Seljalandsfoss Waterfall is located midway between Hvolsvöllur Town (Hvolsvollur) and Skógafoss Waterfall, close to the Ring Road in South Iceland. Seljalandsfoss, 65 metres high and the fourth highest waterfall in Iceland, is definitely on the top 10 list of the most popular tourist attractions in Iceland. It is safe to say that most tourists visiting Iceland make a stop at this picturesque waterfall. It can be seen from far away, a white streak in the distance when driving west to east, and is very easily accessible, with a gravel path from the car park up towards the waterfall and yes – you can also walk behind it! The cliff that Seljalandsfoss Waterfall falls off used to belong to the cliffs of the South Iceland coastline, thousands of years ago.
