The crystal waterfall Godafoss is famous for its incredible beauty, one of the most famous waterfalls in Iceland, located in the north of the island on the Skjaulfandaflyout river. Not the highest, but one of the widest (30 m), it is loved and visited by tourists from all over the world, which is not surprising. This waterfall is known for the fact that in 999-1000. during the adoption of Christianity by the inhabitants, pagan idols were thrown into the waterfall. Hence the name of the waterfall - Godafoss, from the word God - "God". According to another version, this waterfall was named so because of the wooden figurines of the gods that stood over it for a long time at the behest of a local pagan priest.
