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
In the middle is children's bridge and waterfall. A few hundred years ago two children were walking across a natural bridge and fell. The mother paid men to break the bridge after so no other children would fall. The only part left is what you see here.
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! (276 reviews)
The location is great - right in the heart of Reykjavík. The bathroom really smelled of mildew and mold. Even with two windows open, the smell really permeated the entire apartment.

This dome was perfect! Very clean which is the most important to me. It had all the essentials, extra blankets and the beds were comfortable. The host was super responsive and sent delivered more wood for us quickly. The town of Selfoss is 5-6 kilometers and has nice dining options. My family enjoyed our stay very much and will be coming back!
