Gold at the end of the rainbow?

Icelandic nature attracts tourists from all over the world. Workers follow, but working conditions are not always optimal. Here tourists have walked to the 25 meters wide and 60 meters tall Skógafoss, considered to be one of Iceland’s most beautiful waterfalls. According to an old saga, Þrasi Þórólfsson, the first Viking settler in the area, hid a gold treasure behind it.
