Fjaðrárgljúfur

Top choice in Southeast Iceland


This darkly picturesque canyon, carved out by the river Fjaðrá, has been well and truly discovered, thanks to Instagrammers and one Justin Bieber (who filmed a video clip here). A walking trail follows its southern edge for a couple of kilometres, with plenty of places to gaze down into its rocky, writhing depths, and to take in the gorge's gorgeousness and the emerald-green surrounds.

The canyon is not far west of Klaustur, 3km north of the Ring Road via Rte 206.
