"🤩 Bjarnarfoss is a spectacular two-tiered waterfall that cascades down basalt cliffs.
🌟 It’s uniquely beautiful and should be on everyone’s list.
🚗 You can actually see it quite well from the parking lot, but suggest that you follow the path up for a closer view!
📸 My favourite photos are from a distance, but walk up to at least the bridge that crosses the river for towering views!
💰 COST: Free to visit
🚗 PARKING: Good sized free parking lot.
⏰ HOURS: Always open"

"You can see the waterfall from the road, but it’s well worth parking and doing the short walk up to the bottom of the cascade. If you want to see Bjarnarfoss waterfall up close, there is a road leading up to the farm. The waterfall is on private property, but a parking lot has now been added for those of us who want to hike up to the waterfall."

"Eighty meters. Two tiers. Black basalt columns. Green hills. Bjarnarfoss is gorgeous. The waterfall cascades down high cliffs toward the tiny hamlet of Búðir with its black church. A short (less than one mile), steep, out-and-back trail gets you even closer to falls. A photo stop is absolutely necessary."
