Mejores Excursiones de un Día y Cosas que Hacer en Cascadas de Godafoss

Within the Skjálfandafljót river flows Godafoss, a legendary, horseshoe shaped waterfall of North Central Iceland. Translated as "waterfall of the gods," the falls played an important part in Icelandic history. To settle disputes between the growing Christian population and Norse worshiping Icelandics, Lawspeaker and Chieftain Thorgeir Ljosvetningagodi decided to convert all of Iceland to Christianity and, to show his faith, cast the Norse gods into the falls.
