Waterfall of the gods….
“Goðafoss Waterfall is nicknamed the “Waterfall of the Gods.” Some believe that the name comes from the fact that the waterfall is god-like in beauty. However, an old Icelandic legend tells the tale of the waterfall’s name through a Viking leader named Þorgeir Ljósvetningagoði.
Þorgeir is said to have had thrown his Pagan statues into the waterfall, resulting in its name. No one really knows the accurate story of the waterfall’s name but leaving it as a mystery might also play a part in keeping it mythic.” It’s a beautiful, magical spot in Iceland, which is a country full of amazing scenes. The falls can’t be seen from this viewpoint, but I loved this part because it looked to me like the back of a mighty dragon rising up out of the river.
