The literature about Seljalandsfoss suggests that you should not miss the Gljufrafoss which is located north of the larger waterfall. The trail is about a mile and has lovely views of the cliffs above, other waterfalls cresting the cliffs and green fields below. On this trail, we actually saw sheep looking over the edge.
Since it was uphill (of course), Laurie and Annalise were far ahead of me on the trail, and I almost missed the waterfall. The falls are partially obscured by the cliff rock in a narrow canyon and I only found it because I saw someone coming out. A kind young man offered to help me as I tried to rock hop up the crack to discover the smaller falls with sunlight streaming through from above. It was an adventure to find my way and unfortunately I wasn't taking picture of the way in. But inside was worth it and was actually quite beautiful.
The view of the entrance to the cave from the outside looking in, I am so glad that we didn't miss this sweet spot of Icelandic nature.
