Dark folklore at Barnafoss waterfall

Sightseeing

Message from Dani Guindo

Barnafoss is a waterfall in West Iceland with a dark folklore twist. Legend has it that two boys fell to their deaths while trying to cross the stone bridge over the falls. Some say their mother put a curse on the bridge, causing anyone who crossed it to meet a similar fate. The site contrasts with the peaceful Hraunfossar nearby, making for a fascinating visit full of Icelandic history and natural beauty.
