The main attraction here is Strokkur, which erupts every 5–10 minutes, sending hot water up to 20–30 meters into the air. This geothermal area is powered by Iceland’s volcanic activity beneath the ground. Please stay on the marked paths, as the water is extremely hot.

Gullfoss means “Golden Falls,” and it is one of the highlights of the Golden Circle tour.
