The Glanni Waterfall on the Norðurá River may not be a ‘must-go’ in Iceland, but it is situated in a tranquil area with lush vegetation. If you are traveling along Route 1 in the western part of the country and need a break from all the massive waterfalls, this is a great option.

You can find the Glanni Waterfall in western Iceland, about 20 km northeast of the town of Borgarnes, close to the Ring Road and near the Grábrók crater. From the parking lot (GPS: 64.755890, -21.548398), it’s just a few minutes’ walk on flat terrain to the falls.
