Driving to Gullfoss. Fahrt zum Gullfoss. Gullfoss means „golden waterfall“, and we are lucky that it exists, because at one time it was nearly „destroyed“ in order to build a power station! Gullfoss bedeutet „goldener Wasserfall“, und wir können froh sein, dass er noch existiert, weil dort mal ein Wasserkraftwerk geplant war – das hätte…
