Hraunfossar Tours

The wind was wickedly strong this day. Made a long-exposure shot quite challenging. It's amazing how water just pours out of the earth everywhere you go in Iceland.

Beautiful. Just on the side of the road... They did some trails so you can walk about. Nice little place to relax.
The Lava waterfalls are at the West side of Iceland. There is a view point near the car park offering an amazing view of the waterfalls. In Autumn, the views are more colourful and beautiful. #Golden
Beautiful Hraunfossar 💦🇮🇸 #waterfall #chasingwaterfalls
Watch the sunlight bouncing off the water as it flows over Hraunfossar. Keep an eye out for any rainbows that form in the mist.

After you've seen all there is to see at this Borgarnes cascade of water, there are plenty of other things to keep you busy in the area. Many visitors head to Barnafoss next. It's not very far from Hraunfossar, so why not add it to your itinerary?

9.2/10 Wonderful! (223 reviews)
ODDSON Downtown is a perfect option for those looking for a quiet, understated but still comfortable and cozy stay in Rvk. If you're an ambitious walker like me who prefers privacy and adventure, this location is excellent, with easy access to 24 stores, groceries, bus stops, and dinner options. There's usually parking in the area, even if it's not the ODDSON spaces, but be careful to avoid the reserved spots directly next door. The kitchen is perfect, the bathroom is small but clean, and the bed is super cozy. With Icelandic heating, you can keep a window open at all times, which feels refreshing. The staff are responsive, my only complaint is the late check-in time, so definitely recommend booking the day before you arrive if your flight lands early in the morning.
