Audio Guide of Glanni Waterfall

Access is open 24 hours a day, every day of the year, so you can go at your own pace. It is very easy to reach from Route 1 by turning off toward the golf course and campsite near Borgarnes, where you will find free parking.

No, visiting Glanni Waterfall is completely free, which makes it a must-stop if you want to enjoy it without spending money. There are no ticket booths or hidden fees; it is pure nature open to everyone.

The visit is short but rewarding; setting aside 30 to 45 minutes will be enough. The trail is short and gives you plenty of time to reach the viewpoint, enjoy the force of the water, and take spectacular photos.

According to Icelandic folklore, this waterfall is home to elves and trolls, which gives it a unique mystical atmosphere. It is also a strategic point on the Norðurá River to watch salmon jumping up the fish ladder built to help them continue upstream.

Summer is ideal if you want to see the green landscape and have a chance to spot salmon. However, if you enjoy winter photography, the frozen waterfall is stunning, although you should be careful of ice.

The main trail is gravel and relatively flat, but reaching the final viewpoint involves uneven ground and some steps that make wheelchair access difficult. However, part of the surroundings can still be seen easily from the beginning of the path.

Right next to it you have Paradísarlaut (Paradise Hollow), a beautiful oasis for a picnic, and the Grábrók crater, which you can climb for incredible panoramic views. If you want to learn more stories about these places, visit IAudioguia.com to enrich your trip.

Wear comfortable footwear and make the most of the wooden viewpoint to get the best angle of the three water drops. If you go in summer and the weather cooperates, it is the perfect place to relax for a while away from the crowds of larger attractions.
