A misty curtain of water pulls at the road as the van eases off Route 1 and the first view of Seljalandsfoss opens up. Travelers step out into a cool spray, the roar of falling water asking you to move closer; here you can walk a path that runs behind the curtain and feel the waterfall pushing air and light around you.
