Opposite the Barnafoss you have two official viewpoints, which are also at the end of the hiking trail. Here the Hvítá (White River) thunders through a narrow gorge near Barnafoss.

A magnificent experience for which you should take your time to hike in peace.

There is a lookout point right at the parking lot that gives us a fantastic view of the waterfall and the river. The footbridge over the river was originally built in 1891 and renovated exactly a century later. Since 1987, the falls have been protected as a national monument.
