Gullfoss

Gullfoss - Goldwasserfall / Island / Iceland

Der Gullfoss ['kʏtl̥ˌfɔsː] (isl. gull = „Gold“, foss = „Wasserfall“) ist ein Wasserfall des Flusses Hvítá (Ölfusá) im Haukadalur im Süden Islands.

Der Fluss Hvítá bildet die Gemeindegrenze zwischen Hrunamannahreppur und Bláskógabyggð.
Der Wasserfall gehört mit Þingvellir und den benachbarten Geysiren zum sogenannten Gullni hringurinn (Golden Circle, dt. wörtlich: „Goldener Ring“ oder „Goldene Rundfahrt“) der berühmtesten Sehenswürdigkeiten Islands. Seine durchschnittliche Wasserführung beträgt etwa 109 m³/s, im Sommer etwa 130 m³/s. Der größte bisher gemessene Abfluss betrug 2000 m³/s.

Der Wasserfall besteht aus zwei Stufen, von denen die erste 11 m und die zweite 21 m Höhe besitzt. Diese beiden Kaskaden stehen etwa rechtwinklig zueinander.

Von der zweiten Stufe stürzt das Wasser in eine Schlucht, die vom Wasserfall bis zur Verbreiterung zum Tal 2,5 km lang ist und eine Tiefe von 70 Metern erreicht. Die Wasser der Hvítá und nicht zuletzt die bisweilen auftretenden Gletscherläufe haben diese Schlucht seit der Eiszeit vor 10.000 Jahren um durchschnittlich 25 cm im Jahr ausgefräst.

Zwei Gletscherläufe im 20. Jahrhundert sind bekannt, 1930 und 1948. Bei diesen wurde die Schlucht völlig mit Wasser gefüllt, so dass die niedrigere Wasserfallstufe zeitweilig darunter verschwand.
Dass es diesen Wasserfall noch gibt, ist dem Einsatz von Sigríður Tómasdóttir vom nahegelegenen Hof Brattholt zu verdanken, die um 1920 gegen den Bau eines Elektrizitätswerks am Wasserfall anging. Eine englische Gesellschaft hatte den Wasserfall gepachtet, um einen Staudamm zu errichten und Elektrizität zu erzeugen. Nach jahrelangem Rechtsstreit mit Hilfe des Rechtsanwalts und späteren Präsidenten von Island Sveinn Björnsson, als alle Anstrengungen hoffnungslos erschienen und Sigríður mit dem Freitod in den Fluten drohte, konnte der Vertrag schließlich aufgrund einer zu spät gezahlten Pacht aufgelöst werden und ging schließlich zurück an den isländischen Staat. Daran erinnert eine Hinweistafel aus Stein in der Nähe des Wasserfalles.

Ein Projekt von 1977, das 2444 Gigawattstunden pro Jahr Strom hätte liefern sollen und drei Viertel der Wassermenge abgezweigt hätte, wurde ebenfalls abgelehnt.

Der Wasserfall gehört nach wie vor dem isländischen Staat und steht seit 1979 unter Naturschutz.

Golden Circle - FULL VIDEO TOUR (Thingvellir, Gullfoss, Geysir, Kerið‎, Iceland)

We decided to rent a car and drive the whole thing. In the list below, you only need money for Kerið (Kerid Crater), everything else is free. Fill up your tank in Reykjavik (Where the loop both: starts and ends), it's enough petrol to get around. We had a good time! We slept in the car at Þingvellir (Thingvellir) National Park so we could get an early start. We did it all in one day. This video was taken in September 2018! So prepare, it's FREEZING!!! LOL!

The Golden Circle (Icelandic: Gullni hringurinn) is a tourist route in southern Iceland, covering about 300 kilometres (190 mi) looping from Reykjavík into the southern uplands of Iceland and back. It is the area that contains most tours and travel-related activities in Iceland.The three primary stops on the route are the Þingvellir National Park, the Gullfoss waterfall, and the geothermal area in Haukadalur, which contains the geysers Geysir and Strokkur. Though Geysir has been mostly dormant for many years, Strokkur continues to erupt every 5–10 minutes. Other stops include the Kerið volcanic crater, the town of Hveragerði, Skálholt cathedral, and the Nesjavellir and Hellisheiðarvirkjun geothermal power plants.

The name Golden Circle is a marketing term for the route, derived from the name of Gullfoss, which means golden waterfall in Icelandic.

Þingvellir (Icelandic: [ˈθiŋkˌvɛtlɪr̥] (About this soundlisten)), anglicised as Thingvellir,is a national park in the municipality of Bláskógabyggð in southwestern Iceland, about 40 km northeast of Iceland's capital, Reykjavík. Þingvellir is a site of historical, cultural, and geological significance, and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Iceland. The park lies in a rift valley that marks the crest of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. To its south lies Þingvallavatn, the largest natural lake in Iceland.

Gullfoss (Golden Waterfall), Bláskógabyggð, Iceland

Gullfoss (Golden Waterfall) is on the Golden Circle in southern Iceland. Early twentieth century investors wanted this waterfall to produce hydroelectricity. Sigriður Tómasdóttir, Iceland's first environmentalist, opposed this plan and fought tirelessly to protect this beautiful site. Gullfoss was designated as a nature reserve in 1979.

Gullfoss Waterfall, Iceland

Gullfoss waterfall is located in the canyon of Hvítá river in southwest Iceland. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Icelan. The wide Hvítá river rushes southward. About a kilometre above the falls it turns sharply to the right and flows down into a wide curved three-step staircase and then abruptly plunges in two stages (11 m and 21 m) into a crevice 32 m (105 ft) deep. The crevice, about 20 m (60 ft) wide, and 2.5 km in length, extends perpendicular to the flow of the river.

ICELAND FROM THE AIR :: The Golden Falls - Gullfoss

Full video available here

Gullfoss in Iceland, where the Hvítá river plunges 100ft into a gorge below, is one of the most spectacular waterfalls to visit in Iceland. Around 100 tons of water per second flow over the mighty falls although during floods peak volumes of water up to 2000 tons per second have been recorded, which would rank it at that time as the world's most powerful waterfall.

We are very lucky that Gullfoss still exists, as during the first half of the 20th century and some years into the late 20th century, ambitious local farmers who owned the land planned to sell the falls to investors to generate electricity. Fortunately the farmer's daughter Sigríður Tómasdóttir, who was less short sighted, fought to preserve the waterfall's condition and even threatened to throw herself into the waterfall. Funding for the project dried up and the state took over the land. The memory of Sigríður's brave stance against the destruction of the falls is commemorated by a stone memorial.

Just an hour's drive or 10 minutes by helicopter, the stunning falls are one of the most popular places to visit for locals and visitors to Iceland as part of the classic Golden Circle tour of Gullfoss, Geysir and Thingvellir.

Gullfoss, Iceland

Gullfoss is an impressive popular waterfall, part of the famous Golden Circle tour, located about 90km (56 miles) east of the capital, Reykjavik.

The Hvítá river carries glacial meltwater from the Langjökull glacier - and so river levels are often higher in summer when the rate of melting is faster. The water drops down 32m (105ft) in two stages, dropping into a deep canyon, turning sharply. Water flows in summer are typically around 130cumecs, which is approximately twice that of the River Thames in London. In extreme floods, up to 2,000 cumecs has been recorded.

ICELAND Gullfoss Golden waterfall ( Golden Circle ) Phantom 4 aerial drone view

Gullfoss (Golden waterfalls, Golden water) is definitely one of the most beautiful places in the world. In many rankings occupies a position in the first decades. Although it is not the most powerful waterfall in Iceland it is certainly is one of the most scenic and at the same time the most popular tourist attractions of the country.

The waterfall is located in the south-western part of the island and is part of the attraction known as the Golden Circle (Golden Circle). It is composed of water from the river Hvita (White river), coming off a 32-meter chasm.

The waterfall consists of two enormous yet very spectacular cascade. The former is 11 meters and the other is situated at an angle relative to the first is up to 21 meters. The flow of the waterfall is estimated at nearly 400 cubic meters of water, among other things, for this reason, in 1920 the project of construction of a dam and hydroelectric power.

Despite opposition from the owner of the land, foreign investors obtained from the Icelandic Government permission to carry out the relevant work. This situation has led to numerous protests, including the daughter of the owner in the parliament, which has threatened that if the government does not terminate the agreement, he would throw himself into the abyss of a waterfall. Finally, investors have not fulfilled all the formalities and the contract expired.

Gullfoss Waterfall owes its name to the golden sands of the water splashing in the light of the sun with a protruding rock. On sunny days, the water hover numerous colorful rainbows.

Iceland's Gullfoss Waterfall

Gullfoss waterfalls in Iceland

English:
A video of the mighty Gullfoss waterfalls (Gullfoss means Golden waterfall in Icelandic) in South Iceland. Gullfoss is in the river Hvítá which is a glacial river with its origins in the Langjökull glacier in the central highlands of Iceland. As seen in the video the waterfall is divided into two levels. The upper lever is about 11 meters tall (36 ft.) and the lower one is 20 meters tall (66 ft.) so the total height is 31 meters (102 ft.). It falls into the Gullfoss canyon which is 2,5 km long (1,2 miles) and up to 70 meters deep (230 ft.). Gullfoss has a special place in the collective memory of Icelanders because of its role in the struggle between supporters of nature conservation and hydro power production. In the 20th century there were many plans to utilize the power of the waterfall to produce electricity. This would have meant that Gullfoss disappeared and many people fought fiercely against any such plans. The waterfall and surroundings were finally declared a protected area in 1979.

Italiano:
Un video della potente cascata Gullfoss in Islanda meridionale. Gullfoss significa cascata dorata in islandese. Gullfoss è nel fiume Hvítá, un fiume glaciale che ha le sue origine sotto il ghiacciaio di Langjökull nell'altopiano centrale d'Islanda. La cascata è divisa in due livelli - il primo è alto 11 metri ed il secondo è alto 20 metri. Gullfoss è quindi alta circa 31 metri. L'acqua cade nel canyon di Gullfoss, lungo 2,5 km e profondo fino a 70 metri. La cascata ha un posto speciale nei cuori di tutti islandesi per il suo ruolo centrale nella battaglia tra conservazione e sfruttamento. Nel 20°secolo c'erano tanti che volevano usufruire le acque del fiume Hvítá per costruire una centrale idroelettrica, distruggendo la cascata. Per fortuna non sono mai riusciti a completare il progetto e finalmente nel 1979 la zona di Gullfoss è stata dichiarata un'area protetta.
