Part of a series of posts about my travel in Iceland, including visits to eleven waterfalls.
On my final day in Iceland I decided to stop by Brúarárfoss, even though it was out of my way, because it was a beautiful day and these cascades appeared to be different than any I’d seen before. Although they are reached only by driving to the end of a long and rough gravel road, Brúarárfoss has clearly been ‘discovered’. A new gravel carpark had been hacked out of the brush, and a food truck anchored one corner. A short stroll on a bridle path brings visitors to a bridge across the stream, with upstream views of a multi-layer cascade. Perhaps most notably, the water in the central flow (where the water is deepest) is a bright turquoise color, presumably a result of its glacial source.
