Iceland Republic - Gullfoss is part of the Golden Circle trai - One of many Water Falls

In Icelandic, “Gullfoss” translates to The Golden Waterfall, and it’s easy to see why the natural spectacle has earned this name. By many people’s estimation, this is the most famous waterfall in all of Iceland. Gullfoss is part of the Golden Circle trail, one of the most popular tourist attractions in the country. A trip through the Golden Circle will usually include Geysir Geothermal Area and Þingvellir National Park. The park might be more familiar to you as North of Westeros from "Game of Thrones".

 

While you can get fairly up close and personal with Gullfoss, be sure to stay behind the fence. On a clear day, you can enjoy the spray from the waterfall on your face. But if you’re too daring and get too close to the edge, just remember that the waterfall features a 105-foot drop.106 571
