Just few meters away from Hraunfossar you will find another interesting waterfall – Barnafoss. Its name, “the waterfall of the children,” comes from an accident tale which is said to have taken place here in a previous century.

Afterwards, the grief-stricken mother had the bridge destroyed.

Hraunfossar

You will see the great Hraunfossar, a series of waterfalls spread at a distance of around 900 m.

Hraunfossar are very often called “Lava Waterfalls”. Rivulets streaming from the lava field create one of the most breath-taking views in Iceland.
