Very nice place, randomly found from Sellfoss, only 15 minutes drive, nobody there, carpark cheap enough.

I'd recommend adding this waterfall to your trip to the golden circle. It's very impressive because of it's width. You have to pay 700 isk entrance fee but I didn't mind because so many other places are free to visit. The fish stairs are a nice touch. The restrooms are closed.

The cascade is worth a look but the price for parking (kr700 per car) is a bit steep for a very short visit. The cafe is closed in winter so you probably won't stay more than 15 minutes.
