Sigöldugljúfur, also known as the Valley of Tears, is a hidden gem in the Icelandic Highlands that's gaining popularity for its stunning waterfalls, blue waters, and lush surroundings. This fantasy-like canyon is a photographer's dream and a hiker's paradise, with its remote location offering a peaceful escape from the crowds.

Location: Sigöldugljúfur is located in the southern part of the Icelandic highlands, near the Þjórsárdalur valley.

Accessibility: Accessible only by four-wheel-drive vehicle in the summer months, Sigöldugljúfur is a must-visit spot for those seeking off-the-beaten-path beauty in Iceland's rugged landscape.

Best Time to Visit: The place is accessible only during the summer months.

Parking: Visitors can park their vehicles near the canyon, but as the area is remote and lacks formal parking facilities
