Glanni Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Glanni is a waterfall in the Norðurá river near Bifröst. The waterfall is quite small and the color of the water is this white milky color. It is located near the Grábrókarhraun lava field, the surroundings are very beautiful and it is believed to be the home of elves and trolls.

The hike to the waterfall is short and easy. There are well-marked trails that lead to a viewing deck and are easy to follow.
