Gljufrabui Waterfall
About the place
The waterfall is concealed behind a cliff and can only be reached by walking upstream through shallow water. Its stream drops vertically into a rounded rock chamber shaped by erosion. The enclosed walls amplify the sound and movement of the falling water. Gljufrabui is often overlooked despite its close proximity to a major landmark.
