Breathtaking views

The picturesque canyon in the south of Iceland

The canyon has steep walls and winding waters. It is 100 m deep and about 2 kilometres long. The canyon was created by progressive erosions of flowing water from glaciers and rocks. A waterfall flows down the west of the canyon, visible from an observation platform at the end of a one-mile hike up the eastern edge. You can safely walk inside the canyon or walk up the path to the edge of the canyon, where you can stand on a viewing platform.

Wherever you go becomes a part of you somehow.

Located near the Ring Road, not far from the village of Kirkjubæjarklaustur.

How to get there:

The most common way to get there is to drive yourself. The drive takes about 3 hours and 10 minutes, excluding stops. The canyon is not far from the main road, where a gravel road will lead you to a parking lot at the end of it.
