Barnafoss

Waterfall

Western Region

Description

Barnafoss is a waterfall located in western Iceland, known for its dramatic and unique appearance. The name "Barnafoss" translates to "Children's waterfall," and according to Icelandic folklore, the falls were named after two children who fell into the river and drowned. The waterfall is surrounded by steep cliffs and black lava rock formations, which give it a striking contrast against the clear blue water. Visitors can view the falls from a nearby footbridge or take a short hike to explore the surrounding area.
