Mulagljufur Canyon

The canyon stretches along steep mossy cliffs with multiple waterfalls, including Hangandifoss and Múlafoss, cascading down from the surrounding mountains.

The canyon remained hidden from widespread tourism until recent years, known primarily to local residents before gaining recognition through social media and travel guides.

The site represents the raw natural formations of Icelandic landscapes, featuring untouched geological structures shaped by glacial movements and volcanic activities.

Access requires navigating an unmarked gravel road from Route 1, with coordinates 63.9886667, -16.3971589, leading to a small parking area at the canyon base.

The hiking path spans 3.8 kilometers with a 440-meter elevation gain, offering views of the Vatnajökull glacier and two major waterfalls within the canyon walls.
