Kolugljúfur Canyon is a hidden gem in North Iceland that offers breathtaking natural beauty without the crowds. This off-the-beaten-path park is home to Kolufoss Waterfall, where the Vididalsa River cascades down into a narrow gorge. Legend has it that a giantess named Kola once lived here, shaping the canyon with her daily activities of hunting and cooking salmon. Visitors can explore the one-kilometer-long canyon by walking along its edge, marveling at the high cliffs and rapid river below. Just be careful, as there are no safety barriers! Whether you're a nature lover or an adventure seeker, Kolugljúfur Canyon is definitely worth adding to your Iceland itinerary.
