Gjáin Gorge is a great example of the contrasts of Icelandic nature. Amidst the old lava fields of the southern Highlands is this work of nature, beautiful waterfalls, columnar basalt rock, ponds and peaceful springs.
Few people except locals, know of this hidden gem which means you will get to enjoy the area mostly to yourself!

Goðafoss – Iceland by Kat-i The Goðafoss (Icelandic: waterfall of the gods or waterfall of the goði) is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Iceland. It is located in the Bárðardalur district of North-Central Iceland at the beginning of the Sprengisandur highland road. The water of the river Skjálfandafljót falls from a height of 12 meters over a width of 30 meters.
Der Goðafoss ist einer der bekanntesten Wasserfälle Islands, liegt auf dem Gebiet der Gemeinde Þingeyjarsveit im Nordosten des Landes nahe dem Anfang der Sprengisandur-Hochlandpiste in Sichtweite der Ringstraße. Östlich des Goðafoss liegt der Ort Laugar.Das Wasser des Skjálfandafljót stürzt über einer Breite von ca. 30 m etwa 12 m in die Tiefe. (Wikipedia) http://flic.kr/p/vipbyt
Gullfoss (The Golden Waterfall) is one of the most famous waterfalls in Iceland. The water falls 105 feet (32 meters) in two steps into the canyon below. As you approach, you hear the falls before you see the wild, tumbling water as the river valley is a deep, dramatic crevasse. This canyon was created at the end of the Ice Age by catastrophic flood waves and is lengthened by 25 cm a year by the constant erosion.
It´s equally impressive in the winter, covered in ice and snow as it is in the summer
Iceland Interior by Bob Gundersen View along the Kjalvegur (Rt 35); this road across central Iceland had opened for the summer season only a week earlier. Incredible views everywhere, but you need a sturdy 4WD vehicle.
