Fjaðrárgljúfur photo spot

Fjadrargljufur Canyon is a sumptuous, massive canyon about 100 meters deep and about 2 kilometers long. It is located in the South East of Iceland close to Kirkjubæjarklaustur village. Fjadrargljufur Canyon was created by a progressive erosion that took millions of years, erosion coming from waters from glaciers. Gljúfur means canyon in Iceland and Fjaðrá is the name of the river that runs through it. This breathtaking place is easily accessible. Watch of for the sign and leave the main road,  continue  driving 2km on road number 206. The final stretch of the road to the canyon is gravel but doable for virtually any type of car, you will then be able to park. You have the choice to have a look at this canyon or to follow the walking path and check the waterfall (30min walk) located at the end of the trail. Another option is to park down the canyon and get a gorgeous deep view from the bridge crossing the river. This is also pretty practical for people using a wheelchair.
