the Barnafoss
recently they build a few nice lookouts
From the northern shore water spouts into the Hvita
river through underground canals in the porous layer of the Hallmundarhraun lavafield which covers a hard and impregnable
underground.
Just up-river of the Hraunfossar is the Barnafoss,
where according to legend two boys drowned when they tried
