停止: 30 minutes
Gluggafoss, also known as Merkjárfoss, is a captivating waterfall located in the Fljótshlíð region of South Iceland. Its name, which means “window waterfall,” comes from the unique rock formations that create natural windows through which the water flows.
The waterfall is split into multiple tiers, with the upper section cascading through the cliff’s volcanic tuff and the lower plunging freely into a serene pool below. Easily accessible and often overlooked, Gluggafoss offers both geological intrigue and tranquil beauty, making it a rewarding stop off the beaten path.
