Hiking

Selfoss is a beautiful waterfall, located in the Jökulsá á Fjöllum river, upstream from the powerful Dettifoss. This waterfall is approximately 13 meters high and 100 meters wide. Selfoss is characterized by its many basalt columns and is surrounded by breathtaking scenery. The waters of Selfoss flow over a wide front, making it an impressive sight for visitors. From the parking lot at Dettifoss it is about a kilometer walk to Selfoss. The trail is well marked and offers beautiful views of both waterfalls.

Unfortunately, it is currently difficult to reach for people with reduced mobility, but a "ramp" is already being built from the parking lot to the viewing platform (as of August 2024) to make the waterfall accessible to wheelchair users, otherwise the earlier you get there, the emptier it is 😉
