Brúarfoss is known for its brilliantly blue water and delicate, cascading falls that stretch across a rugged volcanic landscape. Often called “the Blue Waterfall,” it offers a peaceful atmosphere and a rewarding walk along a scenic trail. It’s a beautiful stop for anyone exploring the Golden Circle and looking to experience one of Iceland’s most striking natural sights.
Access to the waterfall is now through a designated trail that starts from an official parking lot. The walk is approximately 3.5 km (2.2 miles) each way and takes about an hour to an hour and a half for a round trip. Wear sturdy hiking shoes, as the path can be uneven and muddy in places.
