    Before reaching the Melanes campsite and the red beach of Rauðisandur, the path offers a surprise: Bæjarfoss. A waterfall about 30–40 meters high that drops vertically from the cliffs, surrounded by green meadows and absolute silence. It's not one of Iceland's most famous waterfalls, but it's one of those that stays with you, because it appears suddenly and without warning, like a perfect prelude to the reddish paradise that awaits just ahead.
