Breathtaking waterfalls flowing down into turquoise waters

Hraunfossar and Barnafoss

Hraunfossar is a series of breathtaking waterfalls, often regarded as some of the most beautiful in Iceland. These cascades emerge from a lava field, traveling underground for kilometers before bursting through rocks and vegetation, tumbling gracefully into a striking turquoise river.

Adjacent to Hraunfossar is Barnafoss, which resembles a powerful torrent rather than a traditional waterfall. Despite its unique appearance, it remains a captivating sight. Adding to its intrigue is a poignant legend that explains the disappearance of a natural stone bridge that once spanned the river.

Deildartunguhver Hot Spring

Deildartunguhver is the most powerful hot spring in Europe, with an unparalleled flow of boiling water emerging from deep within the earth. Nowhere else in Iceland can you witness such an intense geothermal phenomenon.

Hot water pipes from Deildartunguhver extend up to 60 km, with only a minimal heat loss of about 2°C. During our brief stop, you’ll experience the raw power of nature as the scalding water boils and gushes high above the ground.
