Kolufossar
A beautiful lesser known Icelandic waterfall cascading through a deep gorge. According to a legend, the gap is created by the female troll Kola and that her treasures are buried nearby. The hill is protected by a spell from the troll.
The area provides you with endless angles of views and details. Definitely a place to stop and to enjoy the scenery.
We first visited the east side of Dettifoss. The road is bumpier and there are less visitors. As we arrived in the evening we had the falls almost to ourselves.
From the carpark you first arrive at powerful Dettifoss. Even if you don’t see the waterfall you hear the majestic sound it creates.
A shirt walk upriver brings you to the beautiful Selfoss waterfall. A long water curtain
On the way back to the carpark we were facing this magical sunset over the gorge
In Saltstraumen close fo Bødo in Northern Norway you can witness one of the world strongest tidal currents.
It is amazing to watch the water run, creating currents, curling into pool and even waves
