Brúar Falls (Brúarfoss)

Highlight • Waterfall

The way to the Bruarfoss is not that easy. The path to the Foss leads over a very slippery and also slimy path in bad weather.

Miðfoss

Highlight • Waterfall

Since the Midfoss is almost on the way to the Bruarfoss it would be a shame if you would not stop here for a short while.

From the free parking lot, the trail started off very well on a paved path. After about 800m-1km, the trail became unpaved and muddy, with trails along the river.

Difficulty: Moderate; sturdy footwear is required.

There is also a paid parking lot. This would also be closer to the waterfall. But that's only half the fun.
