Glymur Waterfall

Glymur waterfall, located near Reykjavik, is Iceland's second tallest waterfall, with a cascade of 198 meters. It was long thought to be the tallest until it was overtaken in 2011 by Morsárfoss, a freshly measured waterfall near Morsárjökull. As a result, it's one of the best waterfalls to view on a short trip to Iceland. It consists of multiple thin falls of varying sizes cascading down a steep face. It is located at the back of the Hvalfjörur.

Glymur waterfall is 44 miles (71 kilometers) from the city, followed by a 2-hour climb through spectacular landscape including river crossings and a walk into a cave, making it an ideal outing for photographers. The waterfall is accessible via a parking lot at the end of the road. Hikers can see the waterfall from established pathways on the east bank of the Botnsá River.
