More to know about Barnafoss Waterfalls
Barnafoss (meaning "Children's Falls" in Icelandic) is another waterfall located nearby, about a 20-minute drive from Hraunfossar. It is a smaller waterfall, but no less impressive, with a powerful flow of water that tumbles over a narrow rock formation into a deep pool below. The waterfall gets its name from a legend that two children once drowned in the pool while trying to cross over the falls on a natural arch that used to span the river.
