Interesting location with a close by free parking to conveniently access two waterfalls: Barnafoss and Hraunfossar. The warter at Barnafoss was smurky great and nothing Blue like some pictures when visiting September 2025. Crowds were limited making the visit very enjoyable. Visiting Barnafoss and admiring the water sculpturing the rocks and flowing towards Hraunfossar was amazing and highly recommend the upper vantage point over Hraunfossar crossing the bridge facing Barnafoss. Highly recommended a relaxing 1 hour visit.

This is a wild river with several waterfalls. Behind these waterfalls lies a tragic story of two children who walked to their deaths, and it is well worth learning more about it. From the car park, it is not difficult to reach the waterfalls; they are only about 50 meters away. There are several viewpoints where you can take beautiful photos. You can also cross the bridge to get a different view of the waterfalls. Unfortunately, you cannot walk very far as the area is roped off/demarcated.

An interesting, winding waterfall to visit during a day trip from Reykjavik. Plenty of free parking, easy walking paths, and a short distance to the sightseeing opportunities makes this a convenient and quick stop. Make sure to stop by Hraunfossar while you are here as well, since it's just next door.
