Selfoss Travel Guide

 a5floor Says:  This huge mountain is situated just outside Selfoss. This is a huge and impressive mountain. If you want, you can drive partly around it. It is really nice to see the different kind of shades. Especially when there are clouds and sun. 

 a5floor Says:  When you are in Selfoss, you can walk along the river Olfus. This river is massive. And there is a strong current in this river. You will have nice views to the other side of the river. 

 travel10000 Says:  From August 2007:Hveragerði Geothermal Area is in the middle of Hveragerði. You can see several hot springs and fumaroles. If you are lucky you can see one of the springs bubble up, which I was told happens only once a day. 

 travel10000 Says:  From August 2007:You can stop by Kerið Crater along the way to Gullfoss and Geysir from Hveragerði or Selfoss. The parking is signposted and is right next to the top of the crater. 

 travel10000 Says:  From August 2007:Do a day trip driving around the "Golden Circle". We stayed overnights in Hveragerði, started driving around 9:30am and got back to Selfoss around 5:30pm. Total driving time was about 3 1/2 hours, so we had plenty of time for each stop including some hiking.... 

 travel10000 Says:  From August 2007:Hveragerði is a very nice quiet town just 15 minutes drive from Selfoss. A number of hiking trails are in the valley north of town. 

 disa_g Says:  A thai restaurant that also serves international dishes. Very relaxing athmosphere with good service and excellant food Lamb with cocos and chili. 

 bzh Says:  The top section of the waterfall is interesting in itself as the water doesn't fall straight but bounces off rocks to produce a surprising display. 

 bzh Says:  There is a covered outcrop between the two falls that enables you to get close to the top part. Don't hesitate to do so but be carefull, the pathway is very slippery and you really don't want to end up in the water.
