Bow Falls
This is an impressive waterfall just before the junction of the Boy and Spray Rivers. You can take a nice short trail (1.2km) to get there from Bow River Bridge though it's also accessible by car.

Plitvice Lakes National Park
This is one of the most spectacular areas we've ever seen. Waterfalls and bright blue pools spill into each other as you walk along boardwalks, hike, and cruise around the lake to take in all the sites. The valley has 16 lakes in total with waterfalls galore.
Vintgar Gorge
A beautiful walk extremely close to Lake Bled (2.5 miles away), it's a nice stop on the way to the Julian Alps and a way to stretch your legs before the drive. The walk is along the river Radovna gorge. You walk along boardwalks, which can be slippery, and cross bridges over spectacular waterfalls.
Hraunfossar and Barnafoss
Two waterfalls in western Iceland near Reykholt. Hraunfossar is a beautiful series of falls streaming over the side of a long ridge. Barnafoss gushes down a gully and has an interesting history of association with Icelandic folktales.
Goðafoss
On the way between Laugar and Akureyri, this is a beautiful horseshoe-shaped waterfall in north Iceland. It's also where Christianity became Iceland's official religion (pick up a guide book to learn more). Walk the paths to check out the various viewpoints.
Dettifoss
Europe's most powerful waterfall is beautiful, but it can be tricky to get to and may be out of your way (it's sort of on the way from the East Fjords to Husavik). Once you get to the waterfall itself, you can walk directly up to the edge and get a terrifying, yet amazing view.
Gullfoss
Seen on a tour of the Golden Circle, this massive two-stage waterfall plunges dramatically into a steep gorge. Walk along an easy pathway to see multiple vantage points.
Seljalandsfoss
Off the Ringroad towards Vik, this is a beautiful waterfall with a path that circles behind the falls. Take the path and get soaked, but experience the power of this waterfall.
