Dark folklore at Barnafoss waterfall

Waterfall

Message from Bree

Barnafoss is a rapid 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 is a stark contrast to the nearby peaceful Hraunfossar waterfalls, making it a must-see for those exploring the region.
