Barnafoss is a dramatic waterfall situated in West Iceland, just a short walk away from the tranquil Hraunfossar falls. It is best known for its dark history that is rich in folklore.The enchanting Barnafoss translates to 'the Children's Falls' due to a popular Icelandic legend of two siblings who followed their parents but did not make it across the bridge leading to the falls and tragically lost their lives in the surging water below.
